1.3 PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The Multilin 889 is a microprocessor-based unit intended for the primary protection of small, medium and large
sized generators. Base relay models provide standard generator protection functions plus a number of current and
voltage based backup functions.

1.4 GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE 8 SERIES

Each relay provides protection, control, and monitoring functions with both local and remote human interfaces. They
also display the present trip/alarm conditions, and most of the more than 35 measured system parameters.
Recording of past trip, alarm or control events, maximum demand levels, and energy consumption is also
performed.
To meet diverse utility standards and industry requirements, you can program these relays to meet specific
requirements. This flexibility will naturally make a piece of equipment difficult to learn. To aid new users in getting
basic protection operating quickly, setpoints are set to typical default values and advanced features are disabled.
You can reprogram these settings any time.
It is possible for you to program these relays using the front panel keys and display. However, due to the numerous
settings, this manual method can be laborious. To simplify programming and provide a more intuitive interface, you
can enter setpoints with a PC running the EnerVista D&I Setup software. Even with minimal computer knowledge,
this menu-driven software provides easy access to all front panel functions. Actual values and setpoints can be
displayed, altered, stored, and printed. If settings are stored in a setpoint file, they can be downloaded at any time to
the front panel program port of the relay via a computer cable connected to the USB port of any personal computer.
CPU
Relay functions are controlled by two processors: a Freescale MPC5125 32-bit microprocessor that measures all
analog signals and digital inputs and controls all output relays, and a Freescale MPC8358 32-bit microprocessor
that controls all the advanced Ethernet communication protocols.
Analog Input and Waveform Capture

Magnetic transformers are used to scale-down the incoming analog signals from the source instrument
transformers. The analog signals are then passed through a 11.5 kHz low pass analog anti-aliasing filter. All signals
are then simultaneously captured by sample and hold buffers to ensure there are no phase shifts. The signals are
converted to digital values by a 16-bit A/D converter before finally being passed on to the CPU for analysis.
The raw samples are scaled in software, then placed into the waveform capture buffer, thus emulating a fault
recorder. The waveforms can be retrieved from the relay via the software for display and diagnostics.
Frequency
Frequency measurement is accomplished by measuring the time between zero crossings of the composite signal of
three-phase bus voltages, line voltage or three-phase currents. The signals are passed through a low pass filter to
prevent false zero crossings. Frequency tracking utilizes the measured frequency to set the sampling rate for
current and voltage which results in better accuracy for the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) algorithm for off-
nominal frequencies.
The main frequency tracking source uses three-phase bus voltages. The frequency tracking is switched
automatically by an algorithm to the alternative reference source, i.e., three-phase currents signal or line voltage for
the configuration of tie-breaker, if the frequency detected from the three-phase voltage inputs is declared invalid.
The switching will not be performed if the frequency from the alternative reference signal is detected invalid. Upon
detecting valid frequency on the main source, the tracking will be switched back to the main source. If a stable
frequency signal is not available from all sources, then the tracking frequency defaults to the nominal system
frequency.
1601-0320 7
Phasors, Transients, and Harmonics

All waveforms are processed eight times every cycle with a DC decaying removal filter and a DFT. The resulting
phasors have fault current transients and all harmonics removed. This results in an overcurrent relay that is
extremely secure and reliable and one that will not overreach.
Processing of AC Current Inputs

The DC Decaying Removal Filter is a short window digital filter, which removes the DC decaying component from
the asymmetrical current present at the moment a fault occurs. This is done for all current signals used for
overcurrent protection; voltage signals use the same DC Decaying Removal Filter. This filter ensures no overreach
of the overcurrent protection.
The DFT uses exactly one cycle of samples to calculate a phasor quantity which represents the signal at the
fundamental frequency; all harmonic components are removed. All subsequent calculations (e.g. power, etc.) are
based upon the current and voltage phasors, such that the resulting values have no harmonic components. RMS
(root mean square) values are calculated from one cycle of samples prior to filtering.
Protection Elements
All voltage, current and frequency protection elements are processed eight times every cycle to determine if a
pickup has occurred or a timer has expired. The voltage and current protection elements use RMS current/voltage,
or the magnitude of the phasor.

1.6 SECURITY OVERVIEW

The following security features are available:
BASIC SECURITY
The basic security feature is present in the default offering of the relay. The relay introduces the notion of roles for
different levels of authority. Roles are used as login names with associated passwords stored on the device. The
following roles are available at present: Administrator, Engineer, Operator, Factory and Viewer, with a fixed
permission structure for each one. Note that the Factory role is not available for users, but strictly used in the
manufacturing process.
The relay can still use the SETPOINT ACCESS switch feature, but enabling the feature can be done only by an
Administrator. Setpoint access is controlled by a keyed switch to offer some minimal notion of security.
CYBERSENTRY
The CyberSentry Embedded Security feature is a software option that provides advanced security services. When
the software option is purchased, the Basic Security is automatically disabled.
CyberSentry provides security through the following features:
● An Authentication, Authorization, Accounting (AAA) Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS)
client that is centrally managed, enables user attribution, and uses secure standards based strong
cryptography for authentication and credential protection.
● A Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) system that provides a permission model that allows access to device
operations and configurations based on specific roles and individual user accounts configured on the AAA
server. At present the defined roles are: Administrator, Engineer, Operator and Viewer.
● Strong encryption of all access and configuration network messages between the EnerVista software and
devices using the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol, the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), and 128-bit keys in
Galois Counter Mode (GCM) as specified in the U.S. National Security Agency Suite B extension for SSH
and approved by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) FIPS-140-2 standards for
cryptographic systems.
● Security event reporting through the Syslog protocol for supporting Security Information Event Management
(SIEM) systems for centralized cyber security monitoring.
There are two types of authentication supported by CyberSentry that can be used to access the device:
● Device Authentication – in which case the authentication is performed on the device itself, using the
predefined roles as users (No RADIUS involvement).
○ Device authentication using local roles may be done either from the front panel or through EnerVista.
● Server Authentication - in which case the authentication is done on a RADIUS server, using individual user
accounts defined on the server. When the user accounts are created, they are assigned to one of the
predefined roles recognized by the relay.
○ Device authentication using RADIUS server may be done only through EnerVista.
Note:
USB does not currently support CyberSentry security.
EnerVista Viewpoint Monitor does not currently support CyberSentry security.
With the CyberSentry security option, many communication settings cannot be changed remotely. All communication settings
can still be changed through the relay front panel.
14 1601-0320
When both device and server authentication are enabled, the relay automatically directs authentication requests to
the device or the respective RADIUS server, based on user names. If the user ID credential does not match one of
the device local accounts, the relay automatically forwards the request to a RADIUS server when one is provided. If
a RADIUS server is provided, but is unreachable over the network, server authentication requests are denied. In
this situation, use local device accounts to gain access to the system.
USER ROLES
User Access Levels are used to grant varying permissions to specific user roles. User roles are used by both Basic
Security and CyberSentry.
The following user roles are supported:
● Administrator: The Administrator role has complete read and write access to all settings and commands.
The role does not allow concurrent access. The Administrator role also has an operand to indicate when it is
logged on.
● Engineer: This role has similar rights to the Administrator role, except that some commands, the security
settings modification and firmware upload are not allowed.
● Operator: The Operator role is present to facilitate operational actions that may be programmed and
assigned to buttons on the front panel. The Operator has read/write access to all settings under the
command menu/section. The Operator can also use the Virtual Input command under the control menu/
section. The Operator can view settings from EnerVista or the front panel but does not have the ability to
change any settings. This role is not a concurrent role.
● Viewer: The Viewer role has read-only access to all 8 Series 889 settings. This role allows concurrent
access. The Viewer is the default role if no authentication has been done to the device. This role can
download settings files and records from the device.
● Factory: This is an internal non-user accessible role used for manufacturing diagnostics. The ability to enable
or disable this role is a security setting that the Administrator controls.
GENERAL RULES FOR USER ROLES WITH CYBERSENTRY

1. The only concurrent role is Observer. If the user is logged in through serial, front panel, or over the network,
that counts as the role being logged in for concurrency reasons.
2. Both EnerVista and the front panel provide a one-step logoff. For the front panel, the root menu has a logoff
command. From EnerVista right-clicking on a device and providing a logoff function from the context menu is
sufficient.
3. The EnerVista Login Screen has User Name: and Password: fields for the default remote (Radius)
authentication, but when a Local Authentication checkbox is selected the User Name: field changes to a
drop down menu where the user can select one of the predefined roles.

1.9 MUST-READ INFORMATION

The following general statements apply and are repeated in the relevant sections of the manual.
● Before upgrading firmware, it is very important to save the current settings to a file on your PC. After the
firmware has been upgraded, it is necessary to load this file back into the device.
● The SNTP and IRIG-B settings take effect after rebooting the relay.
● Commands may be issued freely through other protocols than Modbus (i.e., DNP, IEC 104, and, IEC 61850)
without user authentication or encryption of data taking place, even if the relay has the advanced security
feature enabled.
● Note that the factory role password may not be changed.
● Both DNP and IEC104 protocols can work at the same time, but consider that there is only one point map.
So, both protocols use the same configured points.
● The 52b contact is closed when the breaker is open and open when the breaker is closed.
● The Phase Directional element responds to the forward load current. In the case of a following reverse fault,
the element needs some time – in the order of 8 ms – to change the directional signal. Some protection
elements such as Instantaneous Overcurrent may respond to reverse faults before the directional signal has
changed. A coordination time of at least 10 ms must therefore be added to all the instantaneous protection
elements under the supervision of the Phase Directional element. If current reversal is a concern, a longer
delay – in the order of 20 ms – is needed.
● The same curves used for the time overcurrent elements are used for Neutral Displacement. When using the
curve to determine the operating time of the Neutral Displacement element, substitute the ratio of neutral
voltage to Pickup level for the current ratio shown on the horizontal axis of the curve plot.
● The relay is not approved as, or intended to be, a revenue metering instrument. If used in a peak load control
system, consider the accuracy rating and method of measurement employed, and the source VTs and CTs, in
comparison with the electrical utility revenue metering system.
● In bulk oil circuit breakers, the interrupting time for currents is less than 25% of the interrupting rating and can
be significantly longer than the normal interrupting time.
● For future reference, make a printout of the conversion report immediately after the conversion in case
conversion reports are removed or settings modified from the 8 Series Setup Software.
● If the 3-phase VT uses a delta connection and FREQUENCY INPUT is set to J2-3VT, the positive sequence
voltage is used as the supervision voltage. In such conditions, the true supervision level is internally changed
to 1/Ö3 of the user setting since the base of VT here is the phase-phase voltage. (869, 889 only)
● To monitor the trip coil circuit integrity, use the relay terminals “FA_1 NO” and “FA_1 COM” to connect the Trip
coil, and provide a jumper between terminals “FA_1 COM” and “FA_1 OPT/V” voltage monitor).
● WiFi and USB do not currently support CyberSentry security. For this reason WiFi is disabled by default if the
CyberSentry option is purchased. WiFi can be enabled, but be aware that doing so violates the security and
compliance model that CyberSentry is supposed to provide.
● In Power factor monitoring, SWITCH-IN and SWITCH-OUT are mutually exclusive settings. (845, 850)
1.9.1 STORAGE
Store the unit indoors in a cool, dry place. If possible, store in the original packaging. Follow the storage
temperature range outlined in the Specifications.
If applicable, use the factory-provided dust caps on all Arc Flash sensor fiber and connectors when not in use, to
avoid dust contamination in the transceiver and sensor plugs.

2.10 ARC FLASH SENSOR

The Arc Flash sensor houses the fiber optics and membrane that are used to detect the arc flash. Two mounting
screw holes are provided to affix the sensors to the panel.
Caution:
If the Arc Flash Protection is used, operands for Arc Flash sensor failures must be
assigned to an auxiliary output relay. This must be connected to the control logic of
the breaker equipment to ensure safe operations when the output relay is asserted.
In the event of this assertion, the Hazard Reduction Category code cannot be
maintained unless backup protection is continuing to maintain it.
Caution:
Arc Flash sensor fiber is pressure sensitive and must be handled carefully to avoid
damage. Read the following guidelines fully before proceeding.
Take care when handling the Arc Flash sensor fiber.

● Do not bend the sensor fiber sharply (with a radius of less than 25 mm (1 inch)). Sharp bends can damage
the fiber. Do not pull or tug loops of sensor fiber, as sharp bends may result.
● Do not clamp the sensor fiber tightly during installation. The sensor fiber should be held in place loosely for
the best long-term performance. Avoid over-tightening ties which may deform or break the sensor fiber.
● Do not pull or tug sensor fiber with force, as this may cause internal damage or separate the fiber from the
cable connector.
● Do not twist the sensor fiber, as twisting can damage the fiber resulting in substandard performance.
● Do not attach sensor fiber directly to the bus.
● Avoid surface temperatures above 70°C or 158°F to prolong the life of the fiber.
● Secure all sensor fibers (loosely but securely) away from any moving parts.
● Use the factory-provided dust caps on all Arc Flash sensor fiber and connectors when not in use, to avoid
dust contamination in the transceiver and sensor plugs.

Figure 21: AF Sensor - dimensions of sensor tip
Note:
The sensor fiber should be secured loosely for the best long-term performance. Avoid over-tightening ties which may deform
or break the sensor fiber.
Before installing the AF sensor unit, ensure that all other drilling and installation is complete to minimize possible
damage to the sensitive unit.
1601-0320 45
To install the AF sensor and route the sensor fiber, follow these steps:
1. Choose a location for the sensor clear of any obstructions that could shield the sensor from arc flash light.
2. Mount the sensor securely, using the mounting screw holes.
3. Once the sensor is securely mounted, carefully route the sensor fiber from the AFS sensor to the base unit,
minimizing loops and curves for the strongest possible signal.
4. Secure all sensor fibers (loosely but securely) away from any moving parts.
Note:
Both the AF sensor connections (CH 1 through CH 4) and the sensor cables are shipped with dust caps in place to avoid dust
contamination. The small rubber dust caps must be removed before operation.

2.14 RMIO MODULE INSTALLATION

The optional remote module (RMIO) is designed to be mounted near the motor. This eliminates the need for
multiple RTD cables to run back from the motor, which may be in a remote location, to the switchgear.
Although the RMIO is internally shielded to minimize noise pickup and interference, it should be mounted away from
high current conductors or sources of strong magnetic fields.

2.15 PHASE SEQUENCE AND TRANSFORMER POLARITY

For correct operation of the relay features, follow the instrument transformer polarities, shown in the wiring
diagrams. Note the solid square markings that are shown with all instrument transformer connections. When the
connections adhere to the drawing, the arrow shows the direction of power flow for positive watts and the positive
direction of lagging vars. The phase sequence is user programmable for either ABC or ACB rotation.
Depending on order code, the relay can have up to four (4) current inputs in each J slot and K slot. Three of them
are used for connecting to the phase CT phases A, B, and C. The fourth input is a ground input that can be
connected to either a ground CT placed on the neutral from a Wye connected transformer winding, or to a donut
type CT measuring the zero sequence current from a grounded system. The relay CTs are placed in a packet
mounted to the chassis of the relay. There are no internal ground connections on the current inputs. Current
transformers with 1 to 12000 A primaries may be used.
Caution:
Verify that the relay’s nominal input current of 1 A or 5 A matches the secondary
rating of the connected CTs. Unmatched CTs may result in equipment damage or
inadequate protection.
Caution:
IMPORTANT: The phase and ground current inputs correctly measure up to 46
times the current input’s nominal rating. Time overcurrent curves become
horizontal lines for currents above 20 × PKP.
The ground input (Terminals J7 and J8) is used in conjunction with a Zero Sequence CT as source, or in the neutral
of wye-connected source CTs. The ground current input can be used to polarize both the neutral and sensitive
ground directional elements. When using the residual connection, set the GROUND CT PRIMARY setpoint to a
value equal to the PHASE CT PRIMARY setpoint. The sensitive ground current input is intended for use either with
a CT in a source neutral of a high-impedance grounded system, or on ungrounded systems. On ungrounded
systems it is connected residually with the phase current inputs. In this case, the SENSTV GND CT PRIMARY
setpoint should be programmed to a value equal to the PHASE CT PRIMARY setpoint. The sensitive ground
current input can be connected to a Zero Sequence CT for increased sensitivity and accuracy when physically
possible in the system.

Figure 33: Sensitive ground inputs
Alternatively, the 50:0.025 ground CT input has been designed for sensitive ground current detection on high
resistance grounded systems where the GE Digital Energy 50:0.025 corebalance CT is to be used.
For example, in mining applications where earth leakage current must be measured for personnel safety, primary
ground current as low as 0.5 A primary may be detected with the GE Digital Energy 50:0.025 CT. Only one ground
CT input tap must be used on a given unit.
Note that when this CT input is selected for the Ground Fault function, fixed ratio of 50:0.025 A is used by the relay.

2.17 VOLTAGE INPUTS

The relays have four channels for AC voltage inputs, each with an isolating transformer. Voltage transformers up to
a maximum 5000:1 ratio may be used. The nominal secondary voltage must be in the 10 to 240 V range.
The relay supports wye and delta (or open delta) VT connections. The typical open delta VT wiring diagram is
shown in the following figure: Open Delta VT Connections. The typical wye VT wiring diagram is shown in the wiring
diagrams.

2.18 CONTROL POWER

Control power is supplied to the relay such that it matches the relay’s installed power supply range.
Caution:
Control power supplied to the relay must match the installed power supply range. If
the applied voltage does not match, damage to the unit may occur. All grounds
MUST be connected for normal operation regardless of control power supply type.
For more details, please refer to the power supply section.
Caution:
The relay should be connected directly to the ground bus, using the shortest
practical path. A tinned copper, braided, shielding and bonding cable should be
used. As a minimum, 96 strands of number 34 AWG should be used. Belden catalog
number 8660 is suitable.
Figure 37: Control Power Connection
1601-0320 63
2.19 CONTACT INPUTS

Depending on the order code, the relay has a different number of contact inputs which can be used to operate a
variety of logic functions for circuit switching device control, external trips, blocking of protection elements, etc. The
relay has contact inputs and virtual inputs that are combined in a form of programmable logic to facilitate the
implementation of various schemes.
The voltage threshold at which the contact inputs detect a closed contact input is programmable as 17 V DC for 24
V sources, 33 V DC for 48 V sources, 84 V DC for 110 to 125 V sources, and 166 V DC for 250 V sources.
Wet or Dry input signal types can be connected to contact input terminals as shown in the figure: Wet and Dry
Contact Input Wiring Examples.
Dry inputs use an internal +24V supply. The voltage threshold must be set to 17V for the inputs to be recognized
using the internal +24V.
Note:
The same type of input signal must be connected to all contact inputs on the same contact input card.

2.20 OUTPUT RELAYS

The locations of the output relays have a fixed assignment for the platform called the master identifier. I/O options
that include inputs occupy the fixed assigned output locations so in these cases the relay assignment maps to the
master identifier.
The critical failure output relay is reserved as Relay_8 and it is omitted and is not programmable.

2.21 SERIAL COMMUNICATIONS

One two-wire RS485 port is provided. Up to thirty-two relays can be daisy-chained together on a communication
channel without exceeding the driver capability. For larger systems, additional serial channels must be added.
Commercially available repeaters can also be used to add more than 32 relays on a single channel. Suitable cable
should have a characteristic impedance of 120 ohms and total wire length should not exceed 1,200 meters (4,000
ft).
Voltage differences between remote ends of the communication link are not uncommon. For this reason, surge
protection devices are internally installed across all RS485 terminals. Internally, an isolated power supply with an
opto-coupled data interface is used to prevent noise coupling.

Figure 39: RS485 wiring diagram
Caution:
To ensure that all devices in a daisy-chain are at the same potential, it is imperative
that the common terminals of each RS485 port are tied together and grounded at
the master end. Failure to do so may result in intermittent or failed
communications.
The source computer/PLC/SCADA system should have similar transient protection devices installed, either
internally or externally. Ground the shield at one point only, as shown in the figure above, to avoid ground loops.
Correct polarity is also essential. The relays must be wired with all the positive (+) terminals connected together and
all the negative (–) terminals connected together. Each relay must be daisy-chained to the next one. Avoid star or
stub connected configurations. The last device at each end of the daisy-chain should be terminated with a 120 ohm
¼ watt resistor in series with a 1 nF capacitor across the positive and negative terminals. Some systems allow the
1601-0320 69
shield (drain wire) to be used as a common wire and to connect directly to the COM terminal; others function
correctly only if the common wire is connected to the COM terminal, but insulated from the shield. Observing these
guidelines ensure a reliable communication system immune to system transients.
70 1601-0320
2.22 IRIG-B
IRIG-B is a standard time code format that allows time stamping of events to be synchronized among connected
devices within 1 millisecond. The IRIG-B time code formats are serial, width-modulated codes which can be either
DC level shift or amplitude modulated (AM) form. The type of form is auto-detected by the relay. Third party
equipment is available for generating the IRIG-B signal; this equipment may use a GPS satellite system to obtain
the time reference so that devices at different geographic locations can also be synchronized.

3.2 FIRST ACCESS

There are two methods of interfacing with the relay.
● Using the relay keypad and display.
● Using the EnerVista D&I Setup software software.
This section provides an overview of the interfacing methods using both of these methods.
When first accessing the relay, log in as Administrator either through the front panel or through EnerVista D&I Setup
software connected serially (so that no IP address is required). Use the default password (the default password is
0).
Basic Security
If the relay is in the commissioning phase and you want to bypass authentication, switch the SETPOINT ACCESS
setting on or assign it to a contact input. Once the setting is on, you have complete administrator access from the
front panel. If a contact input is chosen, the access is also conditional on the activation of the respective contact
input.
For more information on setpoint access and other security features available with basic security, refer to Basic
Security.
CyberSentry
If logging in through EnerVista D&I Setup software, choose Device authentication and login as Administrator.
Note:
If the relay is in the commissioning phase, to bypass authentication use the setpoint access feature to gain administrative
access to the front panel in the same way as with basic security.
78 1601-0320
3.3 FRONT PANEL OPTIONS

Relays from hardware version C (firmware version 4 onwards) can be delivered with following different front panels:
● The 10-pushbutton membrane faceplate
● The 3-pushbutton membrane faceplate
The front panels provide menu navigation through a selection of navigation pushbuttons and a high quality graphical
display. The 3-button faceplate includes 3 programmable function pushbuttons and 17 programmable LEDs.
The 10-Pushbutton Membrane faceplate includes 10 programmable function pushbuttons for a total of 22
programmable LEDs.
The front panel provides menu navigation through a selection of navigation pushbuttons and a high quality graphical
display. A USB type B port allows connection to a PC with EnerVista D&I Setup software software.
The following figures show the different options.
Note:
These figures are representative only. They may not reflect the exact model that this manual describes.

3.3.1 GRAPHICAL DISPLAY PAGES

The front panel liquid crystal display (LCD) allows visibility under various lighting conditions. When the keypad and
display are not being used and there are no active Targets, the Home screen with system information is displayed
after a user-defined period of inactivity. Pressing the Escape key during the display of the default message, returns
the display to the previous display screen. Any Trip, Alarm, or Pickup operation causing a new active Target is
displayed immediately, automatically overriding the Home screen.

Figure 46: Typical paging
There are two ways of navigating through the menu:

● using the pushbuttons corresponding to the soft tabs from the screen
● by selecting the item from the list of items on the screen using the Up and Down pushbuttons to move the
yellow highlighted line, and pressing the Enter pushbutton.
1601-0320 83

Figure 47: Tab Pushbuttons
The tab pushbuttons are used to enter the menu corresponding to the label on the tabs. If more than 5 tabs exist,
the first and the last tab are labeled with arrows to allow you to scroll to the other tabs.

Figure 48: Keypad Pushbuttons
Each Keypad pushbutton serves the following function:

● The Home pushbutton is used to display the home screen, and all screens defined under the Front Panel/
Screens menu as default screens.
● The Help pushbutton is used to provide the Modbus address corresponding to the present location when in
the Actual Values menu.
● The Enter pushbutton has a dual function. It is used to display a sub-menu when an item is highlighted. It is
also used to save the desired value for any selected setpoint.
● The Up, and Down pushbuttons are used to select/highlight an item from a menu, as well as select a value
from the list of values for a chosen item.
84 1601-0320
● The Up, Down, Left and Right pushbuttons on the membrane faceplate are used to move the yellow
highlight. These pushbuttons are also used on special screens to navigate to multiple objects.
● The Escape pushbutton is used to display the previous menu. This pushbutton can also be used to cancel a
setpoint change.
● The Reset pushbutton clears all latched LED indications, target messages, and latched output relays,
providing the conditions causing these events are not present.
To change (or view) an item on (or from) the menus:

● Use the pushbuttons that correspond to the tabs (Targets, Status, Metering, Setpoints, Records) on the
screen to select a menu.
● Use the Up and Down pushbuttons to highlight an item.
● Press Enter to view a list of values for the chosen item. (Some items are view-only.)
● Use the Up and Down pushbuttons to highlight a value.
● Press Enter to assign the highlighted value to the item.
3.3.1.3 SINGLE LINE DIAGRAM
BKR1 LED setting for Breaker symbol color configuration

In all devices the Breaker symbol color is configurable as per the color scheme setting in Setpoints > Device >
Front Panel > Display Properties > Color Scheme.
Single Line Diagram for 889 and Breaker/Generator status color

The relay has a single line diagram (SLD) that represents the power system. The single line diagram provided is
pre-configured to show:
● Breaker status
● Generator status
● AC input connection
● Summary of measured online parameters
Accompanying the single line diagram are typical metered values associated with the power system.
The single line diagram is configured as the default menu but this can be changed under Setpoints > Device >
Front Panel > Default Screen (3-P1/P5).
1601-0320 85
Figure 49: Single Line Diagram example, see order code (3-P1/P5) for slot K
Setpoints > Device > Front Panel > Default Screen (3-R1/R5)
Figure 50: Single Line Diagram example, see order code (3-R1/R5) for slot K
The breaker status icon changes state according to the breaker status input and the color of the icon changes in
accordance with the color scheme setting (Setpoints > Device > Front Panel > Display Properties > Color
Scheme). The breaker and generator status color is based on the following logic.
86 1601-0320
Note:
The Unknown status has a white background with black text.
When breaker detection Connected/Disconnected (Racked-In/Racked-Out) is configured, the symbols change with
respect to the Connected/Disconnected state of the breaker. The following table further illustrates this with an
example of the switching device Close state when the color scheme is set to Green (Open).
*8 Series 889 considers the breaker state Connected when detection of the Connected/Disconnected state of the
breaker is not configured. Connected/Disconnected detection is not configured when setpoint Connected (under
Setpoints > System > Breaker) is set to Off.

3.3.2 THREE-PUSHBUTTON FRONT PANEL LEDS
Note:
The rugged front panel is is not available for all models. See the order codes for details
Front panel LED details:

● Number of LEDs: 17
● Programmability: Any FlexLogic operand
● Reset mode: self-reset or latched
The front panel provides two columns of 7 LED indicators each, and 3 LED pushbutton indicators. The IN-SERVICE
(LED 1) indicator from the first LED column is a non-programmable LED. LED 3 in the first LED column is
programmable and defaulted to PICKUP. The bottom 3 LED indicators from the first column, and the 7 LED
indicators from the second LED column are fully programmable. The indicators TRIP (LED 2), and ALARM (LED 3),
are also programmable, and can be triggered by either a selection of FlexLogic operand assigned in their own
menu, or by the operation of any protection, control or monitoring element with function selected as Trip, Alarm,
or Latched Alarm.
The RESET key is used to reset any latched LED indicator or Target Message once the condition has been cleared
(latched conditions can also be reset via the RESETTING menu).

Figure 51: LED numbering
Some status indicators are common while some are feature specific which depend on the availability in the order
code. The common status indicators in the first column are described below.
88 1601-0320
Status Indicator Description

IN SERVICE Green color = Relay powered up, passed self-test has been programmed, and ready to serve.
This LED indicates that control power is applied, all monitored inputs, outputs, and internal
systems are OK, and that the device has been programmed.
Red color = Relay failed self test, has not been programmed, or out of service.
TRIP This LED indicates that the element selected to produce a trip has operated. This indicator
always latches; as such, a Reset command must be initiated to allow the latch to be reset.
ALARM This LED indicates that the FlexLogic™ operand serving as an Alarm switch has operated.
Latching of the indicator depends on the selected protection function. A Reset command must
be initiated to allow the latch to be reset.
PICKUP This LED indicates that at least one element is picked up. This indicator is never latched.
TEST MODE This LED indicates that the relay has been set into Test Mode.
MESSAGE This LED indicates the presence of Target Messages detected by the relay.
LOCAL MODE This LED indicates that the relay is operating in local mode.
Breaker status indication is based on the breaker’s 52a and 52b contacts. With both contacts wired to the relay and
configured, closed breaker status is determined by closed 52a contact and opened 52b contact. Vice-versa the
open breaker status is determined by opened 52a contact and closed 52b contact. If both 52a and 52b contacts are
open, due to a breaker being racked out from the switchgear, both the Breaker Open and Breaker Closed LED
Indicators will be off.
The Event Cause indicators in the first column are described as follows:
Events Cause LEDs are turned On or Off by protection elements that have their respective target settings selected
as either Self-Reset or Latched. If a protection element target setting has Self-Reset selected, then the
corresponding Event Cause LEDs remain On as long as the operate operand associated with the element remains
asserted. If a protection element target setting is Latched, then the corresponding Event Cause LEDs turn On
when the operate operand associated with the element is asserted and will remain On until the RESET button on
the front panel is pressed after the operand is reset.
Default labels are shipped in the package of every product, together with custom templates. A custom LED template
is available for editing and printing. You can download the document GET-20035 from the website. The default
labels can be replaced by user-printed labels. Customization of LED operation is of maximum benefit in installations
where languages other than English are used to communicate with operators.

3.3.5 RELAY MESSAGES
3.3.5.1 TARGET MESSAGES

Targets are messages displayed on the screen when any change of state of protection, control, monitoring, or digital
signal takes place. Depending on the model, targets for each element are enabled, or latched by default. You can
disable targets for any particular element if desired.
Target Messages are displayed in order of their activation, whereas in cases of simultaneous activation, they are
displayed in the order outlined below (from highest to lowest priority):
1. Targets generated by pressing programmable pushbutton
2. Targets generated by Contact inputs
3. Targets generated by Protection, Control and Monitoring elements
4. Targets generated by communications.
In cases where the Pickup and Operate flags from an element are detected at the same time, the Pickup flag is not
displayed. The Operate flag is displayed instead.
LED #6, from the first column of LEDs, is factory configured to be triggered by the FlexLogic operand ANY
TARGET, to indicate the presence of at least one target message. This LED is labeled as MESSAGE. The LED can
be programmed to any other FlexLogic operand by choice.
MESSAGE TIMEOUT
The timeout applies to every screen apart from the default screen. Examples include viewing, metering, or
navigating to a screen with setting, etc. If no further navigation is performed, no pushbutton is touched, and/or no
target is initiated for the time specified in the message timeout setpoint, the display goes back to the default screen
(the metering summary screen).
The target message overrides the message timeout. The message timeout starts timing after each target message,
and if no more activity is recorded for the specified time, the display goes back to the default screen.
Pressing a programmable pushbutton activates a new screen with a Target Message corresponding to the
programmed pushbutton action. The pushbutton Target Message is displayed for 10 seconds then defaults to the
screen that was displayed before pressing the pushbutton. The pushbutton Target Message is recorded in the list
with other generated Target Messages.
Target Messages can be cleared either by pressing the pushbutton corresponding to the CLEAR tab, or by initiating
a RESET command. The CLEAR command clears only the Target Messages, while initiating a RESET clears not
only the Target Messages, but also any latched LEDs and output relays.
3.3.5.2 SELF-TEST ERRORS

The relay performs self-diagnostics at initialization (after power up), and continuously as a background task to
ensure that the hardware and software are functioning correctly. There are two types of self-test warnings indicating
either a minor or major problem. Minor errors indicate a problem with the relay that does not compromise protection
and control functionality of the relay. Major errors indicate a problem with the relay which takes it out of service.
Caution:
Self-Test Warnings may indicate a serious problem with the relay hardware!
1601-0320 93
Upon detection of a minor problem, the relay does the following:

● Displays a detailed description of the error on the relay display as a target message
● Records the minor self-test error in the Event Recorder
● Flashes the ALARM LED
Upon detection of a major problem, the relay will:
● De-energize the relay assigned under setting Major Self-Test Relay if the relay is programmed for failsafe
operation or energized if programed for non-failsafe operation.
● De-energize all output relays
● Turn off the IN SERVICE LED
● Flash the TRIP LED
● Assert the Self-Test Trip OP FlexLogic operand
● Display Major Self-test error with the error code as a target message
● Record the major self-test failure in the Event Recorder
When Alarm is selected as a function, upon detection of a major problem, the relay will:
● Flash the ALARM LED.
● Assert Self-Test Alarm OP FlexLogic operand.
● Display Major Self-test error as a target message
● Record the major self-test failure in the Event Recorder.
Under both conditions, the targets cannot be cleared if the error is still active.

group, copying all settings.
3.4.3.2 USING SETPOINT FILES

The EnerVista D&I Setup software interface supports three ways of handling changes to relay settings:
1. In off-line mode (relay disconnected) to create or edit relay settings files for later download to communicating
relays.
2. Directly modifying relay settings while connected to a communicating relay, then saving the settings when
complete.
3. Creating/editing settings files while connected to a communicating relay, then saving them to the relay when
complete.
Setting files are organized on the basis of file names assigned by the user. A setting file contains data pertaining to
the following types of relay settings:
● Device Definition
● Relay Setup
● System Setup
● Protection
● Control
● Inputs/Outputs
106 1601-0320
● Monitoring
● FlexLogic
● Quick setup

● IEC 61850 configurator
● Modbus user map
Factory default values are supplied and can be restored after any changes.
The relay displays relay setpoints with the same hierarchy as the front panel display.
3.4.3.3 DOWNLOADING AND SAVING SETPOINT FILES

You should make a backup of the in-service settings before any changes are made or any work undertaken on
commissioned devices. This section describes how to backup settings to a file and how to use that file to restore
settings to the original relay or to a replacement relay.
Setpoints must be saved to a file on the local PC before performing any firmware upgrades. Saving setpoints is also
highly recommended before making any setpoint changes or creating new setpoint files.
The setpoint files in the EnerVista D&I Setup software window are accessed in the Files Window. Use the following
procedure to download and save setpoint files to a local PC.
1. Ensure that the site and corresponding device(s) have been properly defined and configured.
2. Select the desired device from the site list.
3. Select Read Device Settings from the online menu item, or right-click on the device and select Read Device
Settings to obtain settings information from the device.
4. After a few seconds, the software requests the name and destination path of the setpoint file. The
corresponding file extension is automatically assigned. Press Receive to complete the process. A new entry
is added to the tree, in the File pane, showing path and file name for the setpoint file.
3.4.3.4 ADDING SETPOINT FILES TO THE ENVIRONMENT

EnerVista D&I Setup software allows you to review and manage a large group of setpoint files. Use the following
procedure to add an existing file to the list.
1. In the offline pane, right-click on Files and select the Add Existing Settings File item.
2. The Open dialog box is displayed, prompting to select a previously saved setpoint file.
3. Browse for the file to be added then click Open. The new file and complete path will be added to the file list.
3.4.3.5 CREATING A NEW SETPOINTS FILE

Eenrvista allows you to create a new setpoint files independent of a connected device. These can be uploaded to a
relay at a later date. The following procedure illustrates how to create new setpoint files.
1. In the Offline pane, right click and select the New Settings File item. The Create New Settings File box
appears, allowing for the configuration of the setpoint file for the correct firmware version. It is important to
define the correct firmware version to ensure that setpoints not available in a particular version are not
downloaded into the relay.
2. Select the Firmware Version, and Order Code options for the new setpoint file.
3. For future reference, enter some useful information in the Description box to facilitate the identification of the
device and the purpose of the file.
1601-0320 107
4. To select a file name and path for the new file, click the button beside the File Name box.
5. Select the file name and path to store the file, or select any displayed file name to replace an existing file. All
setpoint files should have the extension .CID.
6. Click OK to complete the process. Once this step is completed, the new file, with a complete path, is added
to the software environment.
Note:
Offline settings files can be created for invalid order codes in order to support file conversion from different products,
upgrades, and special orders. To validate an order code, visit the GE Multilin online store.
Filenames for setting files cannot have a period character (.) other than the one that is added in front of CID.
3.4.3.6 UPGRADING SETPOINT FILES TO A NEW REVISION

It is often necessary to upgrade the revision for a previously saved setpoint file after the firmware has been
upgraded. This is illustrated in the following procedure:
2. Select the Status > Information > Main CPU menu item and record the Firmware Version.
3. Load the setpoint file to be upgraded into the EnerVista D&I Setup software 8 Series setup software
environment.
4. In the File pane, select the saved setpoint file.
5. From the main window menu bar, select the Offline > Edit Settings File Properties menu item and note the
File Version of the setpoint file. If this version is different from the Firmware Revision noted in step 2, select a
New File Version that matches the Firmware Revision from the pull-down menu. For example, if the firmware
revision is J0J08AA150.SFD (Firmware Revision 1.50) and the current setpoint file revision is 1.10, change
the New File Version to 1.5x.
6. Enter any special comments about the setpoint file in the Description field.
7. Select the desired firmware version from the New File Version field.
8. When complete, click OK to convert the setpoint file to the desired revision.
3.4.3.7 PRINTING SETPOINTS

EnerVista D&I Setup software allows you to print partial or complete lists of setpoints. Use the following procedure
to print a list of setpoints:
1. Select a previously saved setpoints file in the File pane or establish communications with a relay.
2. If printing from an online device, select the Online > Print Device Information menu item. If printing from a
previously saved setpoints file, select the Offline > Print Settings File menu item.
3. The Print/Export Options dialog box appears. Select Setpoints in the upper section and select either Include
All Features (for a complete list) or Include Only Enabled Features (for a list of only those features which
are currently used) in the filtering section and click OK.
4. Setpoint lists can be printed in the same manner by right clicking on the desired file (in the file list) or device
(in the device list) and selecting the Print Device Information or Print Settings File options.
108 1601-0320
3.4.3.8 PRINTING VALUES FROM A CONNECTED DEVICE

A complete list of actual values can also be printed from a connected device with the following procedure:
1. Establish communications with the desired relay.
2. From the main window, select the Online > Print Device Information menu item
3. The Print/Export Options dialog box will appear. Select Actual Values in the upper section and select either
Include All Features (for a complete list) or Include Only Enabled Features (for a list of only those features
which are currently used) in the filtering section and click OK.
Actual values lists can be printed in the same manner by right clicking on the desired device (in the device list) and
selecting the Print Device Information option.
3.4.3.9 LOADING SETPOINTS FROM A FILE
Note:
An error message occurs when attempting to upload a setpoint file with a revision number that does not match the relay
firmware.
The following procedure illustrates how to load setpoints from a file. Before loading a setpoints file, it must first be
added to the software environment.
1. Select the previously saved setpoints file from the File pane of the main window.
2. Select the Offline > Edit Settings File Properties menu item and verify that the corresponding file is fully
compatible with the hardware and firmware version of the target relay.
3. Right-click on the selected file and select the Write Settings File to Device item.
4. Select the target relay from the list of devices shown and click Send. If there is an incompatibility, an
Incompatible device order codes, versions or Serial Locks error will occur.
If there are no incompatibilities between the target device and the settings file, the data is transferred to the relay.
An indication of the percentage completed is shown in the bottom of the main window.
3.4.3.10 UNINSTALLING FILES AND CLEARING DATA

The relay can be decommissioned by turning off the power to the unit and disconnecting the wires to it. Files can be
cleared after uninstalling Emervista or the relay, for example to comply with data security regulations. On the
computer, settings files can be identified by the .CID extension.
To clear the current settings file do the following:
1. Create a default settings file.
2. Write the default settings file to the relay.
3. Delete all other files with the .CID extension.
4. Delete any other data files, which can be in standard formats, such as COMTRADE or .csv.
You cannot directly erase the flash memory, but all records and settings in that memory can be deleted. Do this from
the front panel or EnerVista D&I Setup software using: Records > Clear Records
3.4.4 QUICK SETUP

The Quick Setup item can be accessed online or offline in EnerVista D&I Setup software. Settings changes can be
made from both of these screens.
1601-0320 109
Quick Setup is designed for quick and easy user programming. Power system parameters, and settings for some
simple overcurrent elements are easily set. The Quick Setup screen works as follows:
● Settings names and units can be viewed at this screen. To view the range of the settings, hover the cursor
over the setpoint value field.
● Configure and save the settings as required.
● The Save, Restore and Default buttons function the same as in the individual setting setup screens.
● Attempting to enter and save a setting value which exceeds the range gives a warning dialog box. Correct the
setting value and save to proceed.
Note:
In Quick Setup, the value is not replaced with the maximum value of the setting.
For example, the Phase CT Primary setting has a range of 1 to 12000, but the user enters 12001 and tries to
save it. Quick Setup displays a warning dialog. Pressing OK leaves the setting value at 12001, but not 12000
(max. value) as is the case with other views.
3.4.5 UPGRADING RELAY FIRMWARE

To upgrade the firmware, follow the procedures listed in this section. Upon successful completion of this procedure,
the relay will have new firmware installed with the factory default setpoints.The latest firmware files are available
from the GE website.
Note:
EnerVista D&I Setup software prevents incompatible firmware from being loaded into a relay.
Uploading firmware on a WiFi interface is not allowed.
Before upgrading firmware, it is very important to save the current settings to a file on your PC. After the firmware has been
upgraded, it will be necessary to load this file back into the relay.
3.4.5.1 LOADING NEW RELAY FIRMWARE

Do the following to load new firmware into the relay's flash memory.
1. Connect the relay to the local PC and save the setpoints to a file.
2. Select the Maintenance > Update Firmware menu item. A screen appears with information on how long the
upload will take. Select OK to proceed.
3. EnerVista D&I Setup software requests the new firmware file. Locate the folder that contains the firmware file
to load into the relay.The firmware filename has the following format.

/

! " #
$ %&
$&# ' # ()*+, - .
A screen appears advising that a backup of the settings file should be made before proceeding with the
firmware upgrade. Select YES to proceed.
4. EnerVista D&I Setup software now prepares the relay to receive the new firmware file. The front panel
momentarily displays Upload Mode.
110 1601-0320
5. A screen appears confirming the firmware versions of the target device and the selected .SFD. Click YES to
proceed with the firmware loading process.
6. EnerVista D&I Setup software will prompt the user to reboot the relay after both the Boot 1 and Boot 2
uploads.
Note:
The relay should be rebooted BEFORE pressing OK.
7. Wait for the Comms upload process to complete.

8. Wait for the Mains upload process to complete.
9. EnerVista D&I Setup software notifies you when the relay is successfully updated.
Note:
Wait for the relay to boot up, then cycle power to the relay to complete the firmware update process.
After successfully updating the firmware, the relay is not in service and requires setpoint programming. To
communicate with the relay, the communication settings may have to be manually reprogrammed.
When communication is established, you must reload the saved setpoints back into the relay.
Modbus addresses assigned to features, settings, and corresponding data items (i.e. default values, min/max
values, data type, and item size) may change slightly from version to version of firmware. The addresses are
rearranged when new features are added or existing features are enhanced or modified.
3.4.6 SLD CONFIGURATOR

The SLD Configurator allows users to create customized single line diagrams (SLD) for the front panel display. The
SLDs must be configured from the SLD Configurator in the EnerVista D&I Setup software, located under Setpoints
> SLD Configurator. The SLD Configurator allows breakers, switches, metering, and status items on the SLD.
SLDs are viewed from the relay front panel and individual SLD pages can be selected for the default home screen
pages. The relay provides several SLD pages. Each page can have a combination of active and passive objects.
Status, metering, and control objects are active while the static images for bus, generator, motor, transformer,
ground, etc. are passive objects.
1601-0320 111
Figure 57: SLD Page
For optimum use, the first SLD page can be used for the overall SLD and the subsequent pages can be used for
breaker/switch specific CT/VT placement, metering and status. Once the configurable SLDs are programmed, they
are saved within the relay settings file. The SLD pages can also be saved individually as local XML files. The locally
stored XML files can then be reloaded to generate another diagram. SLDs represent objects using GE symbols
(similar to ANSI).
Figure 58: Template SLD
The following figure shows the objects that are available for design in the SLD Configurator and their maximum
usage limits [X]. The maximum limit reflects the maximum possible order code.
112 1601-0320
Figure 59: SLD Configurator Component Library
3.4.6.1 CONTROL OBJECTS

The control objects consist of selectable breakers and disconnect switches. The following figure shows the different
symbols in the GE Standard style and IEC style. If the switching element is tagged, blocked, or bypassed, indicators
with the letters T, B, and By appear on the lower right corner of the element. The breaker/switch name is displayed
at the top of the object.
Note:
The displayed breaker name is configured in the setpoint Setpoints > System > Breakers > Breaker[X] > Name. This
setpoint has a 13-character limit. The name should be kept to a minimum so that it appears properly on the SLD.
1601-0320 113
Figure 60: Control Object Symbols
Note:
GE symbols are color-coded ANSI symbols.
The control objects status follows the color scheme from the Setpoints > Device > Front Panel > Display
Properties > Color Scheme setting. By default, this setting is set to Green (open). If set to Red (open), the
status colors are reversed.
If the setting is used, the breaker symbols automatically change to the Truck CB symbols. The SLD assumes that if
the Breaker Racked-In/Racked-Out input is used (anything other than Off), the appropriate Truck CB symbol will
be used.
The following figure shows the orientation available for the control objects. The default position for the control
objects is 0 degrees. Orientation in multiple directions allows for configuration of the single line diagram according
to the existing drawings and ensure the correct side for the fixed/moving contacts.
114 1601-0320
Figure 61: Orientation for Breakers and Switches
3.4.6.2 STATUS OBJECTS

The status objects consist of digital operands. Up to 15 digital status elements can be configured per SLD page.
The status object acts as an LED on the screen. If the diagram shows a gray circle, it means the assigned input is
low. If it shows a red circle, the assigned input is high. The following figure shows an example of the Reclose
Blocked signal in both On and Off state.
Figure 62: Reclose Blocked signal
In addition, Remote Breaker status objects are added for GE and IEC style. Remote breaker status allows
monitoring of three distant breakers. These objects are not controllable and hence cannot be used for selection and
operation.
1601-0320 115
3.4.6.3 METERING OBJECTS

The metering objects consist of metering elements. Up to 15 metering elements can be configured per SLD page.
The metering object has an input for all the available FlexAnalog values. The units for these values are dynamically
scaled as per the defaults. The following figure shows the metering element on a configured SLD.
Figure 63: Metering Element on configured SLD
3.4.6.4 DEVICE STATUS OBJECT

The configurable SLD feature in the relay allows only one device status object per SLD page. The device status
does not have any properties. It is simply shown as Status: [device status].
3.4.6.5 STATIC OBJECTS

Static objects are used as simple bitmap images or text/drawing blocks to complete the single line diagram. There is
no control associated with these static objects. The static objects consist of drawing tools, text object, and power
system components.
3.4.6.6 FRONT PANEL INTERACTION

8 Series relays use the Select-Before-Operate (SBO) mechanism for local control of breakers and switches [IEC
61850-7-2]. Initially, the diagram can be browsed through all available breakers and switches by using the
navigation keys. After navigation, selection must be made for the breaker or switch object by pressing the Enter
key. After selecting the desired switch or breaker, control operations can then be carried out on the selected switch
or breaker. The relay allows local opening, closing, tagging, blocking, and bypassing. Front panel control is only
allowed when the relay is in Local Mode.
3.4.6.6.1 NAVIGATION
The SLD can be accessed in two ways from the front panel of the relay. The original location for the SLD pages is
under Status > Summary > Single Line Diagram > SLD [X]. However, a more convenient way to access an SLD
116 1601-0320
page is by setting it as a default home screen at Setpoints > Device > Front Panel > Home Screens > Home
Screen1. Pressing the home button more than once rotates through the configured home screens. If the desired
SLD is set to Home Screen 2 through Home Screen 10, it can be activated by pressing home button until it
appears on the screen. If no home screen is configured, the default screens become active. If the default screens
are disabled, Status > Summary > Values screen is shown.
3.4.6.6.2 BREAKER/SWITCH BROWSING AND SELECTION

While in the SLD screen, only one page is active at any point of time. If SLD1 is active, only breakers and switches
on SLD1 can be operated and controlled. By default, when entering the SLD menu, the screen displays SLD1.
SLD2 through SLD6 can be accessed through the navigation pushbuttons as shown in the Active element
selection with flash message figure, found later in this section.
To browse through the control elements on the SLD page, the navigation keys can be used. On the rugged front
panel, the up and down keys can be pressed for navigation and on the membrane front panel, up, down, left, and
right keys can be pressed. With the rugged front panel navigation, pressing down sequentially rotates through all
the available breakers and switches on the screen. Pressing the up key rotates through in a reverse order. With the
membrane front panel, the up, down, left, and right keys can navigate to the closest breaker/switch depending on
the key press direction.
While browsing through switches/breakers the active element is shown with a blue colored border around it. To
select a breaker/switch, the browsing indicator border must be around the desired breaker or switch. The breaker or
switch can then be selected by pressing the Enter key. As the breaker or switch is being selected, a flash message
appears indicating that the breaker or switch has been selected as shown in the following figure. Once the element
is selected for operation, the SLD control pushbuttons appear and the color of the highlighter will change to maroon
indicating that the breaker or switch is selected. By default, the control pushbuttons are programmed for Tag,
Block, and Bypass. For each control action, a flash message is displayed.
1601-0320 117
Figure 64: Active element selection with flash message
Browsing and selection is allowed only when the relay is in Local Mode and the user has security access of at least
operator level. To check if the relay is in local mode, look for an LM symbol on the task pane at the top of the
screen. Pressing navigation keys on SLD pages while in remote mode does nothing.
Control pushbuttons appearing on the SLD page are only active while a control object is selected.
The control object is deselected if you navigate to any screen other than the SLD or by pressing the Escape key. If
no action is taken after selection, the object is automatically deselected after the Bkr/Sw Select timeout setting
(Setpoints > Control > Control Mode > Bkr/Sw Select Timeout). Once deselected, the control pushbutton labels
return to the SLD page navigation labels and the color of the box around the object changes back to blue for
browsing. Pressing Escape once more removes the browsing highlight around the objects. If inactive during
browsing for the timeout setting (Setpoints > Device > Front Panel > Message Timeout), the browsing highlight
around the object disappears. If an object is selected, Home button operation is prohibited. The object must be de-
selected by pressing Escape in order for the Home button to function.
After upgrading from firmware versions 1.3x to 1.7x, the breaker/contactor starting/stopping operations from the
front panel now follow a select-before-operate mechanism. The breaker/contactor must be first selected by
browsing and pressing the Enter key for selection. Once selected, the function can be started or stopped with the
front panel’s pushbuttons.
3.4.6.6.3 CONTROL OPERATIONS

The control operations carried out through the front panel of the relay are done only in Local Mode (Setpoints >
Control > Local Control Mode > Local Mode). Opening and closing operations can be carried out by pressing the
Open and Close pushbuttons on the relay front panel. Other operations such as tagging, blocking and bypassing
can be carried out by pressing the control pushbuttons that appear after the control object selection.
Note:
Remote operations are allowed for opening, closing, blocking, and bypassing. Tagging must be done locally.
It is recommended that tagging is only used for maintenance purposes. When a breaker or a switch is tagged, it cannot be
bypassed although the letters By may appear below the element on SLD.
If breaker is selected and relay status is changed to Out-of-Service, the breaker control actions, such as tag, blocked, bypass
and open/close are blocked. The breaker may remain in the selected state, but no action can be executed.
118 1601-0320
Once the selected breaker or switch is tagged, a letter T appears below the associated element. Similarly, for
blocking, letter B appears and for bypassing, letters By appear below the associated breaker or switch as shown in
the last column of the following figure. The blocking and bypassing letters also appear if the breakers/switches are
blocked or bypassed remotely. These are linked to their respective breaker/switch in the SLD Configurator window
so that when that breaker/switch is deleted, the letters also get deleted.
Permitted breaker/switch operations are described in the following figure when various letter indications are present
under the control element.
3.4.7 FLEXCURVE EDITOR

The FlexCurve Editor is designed to graphically view and edit the FlexCurve. The FlexCurve Editor screen is shown
as follows for FlexCurves A, B, C, and D:
1601-0320 119
● The Operate Curves are displayed, which can be edited by dragging the tips of the curves
● A Base curve can be plotted for reference, to customize the operating curve. The blue colored curve in the
picture is a reference curve. It can be Extremely Inverse, Definite Time, etc.
● The Trip (Reset and Operate) Times in the tables and curves work interactively i.e., changing the table value
affects the curve shape and vice versa.
● Save Configured Trip Times.
● Export Configured Trip Times to a CSV file
● Load Trip Times from a CSV File
● The screen above shows the model for viewing FlexCurves. Select Initialize to copy the trip times from the
selected curve to the FlexCurve.
3.4.8 TRANSIENT RECORDER (WAVEFORM CAPTURE)

EnerVista D&I Setup software can be used to capture waveforms (or view trace memory) from the relay at the
instance of a pickup, trip, alarm, or other condition.
120 1601-0320
Note:
The COMTRADE Version used on 8 Series relays is C37.111-1999.
● With EnerVista D&I Setup software running and communications established, select the Records >
Transients > Transient Records menu item to open the Transient Recorder Viewer window.
● Click on Trigger to trigger a waveform capture.
● To view the captured waveforms, click on the Launch Viewer button. A detailed Waveform Capture window
appears as shown below.
● Click on the Save button to save the selected waveform to the local PC. A new window appears, requesting
the file name and path. One file is saved as a COMTRADE file, with the extension CFG. The other file is a
DAT file, required by the COMTRADE file for proper display of waveforms.
● To view a previously saved COMTRADE file, click the Open button and select the corresponding
COMTRADE file.
1601-0320 121
● The red vertical line indicates the trigger point.

● The date and time of the trigger are displayed at the top left corner of the window. To match the captured
waveform with the event that triggered it, make note of the time and date shown in the graph, then find the
event that matches the same time in the event recorder. The event record provides additional information on
the cause and system conditions at the time of the event.
122 1601-0320
● From the window main menu bar, press the Preference button
to open the COMTRADE Setup page, in order to change the graph attributes. Change the color of each
graph as desired and select other options as required by checking the appropriate boxes. Click OK to store
these graph attributes and to close the window. The Waveform Capture window reappears based on the
selected graph attributes.
● To view a vector graph of the quantities contained in the waveform capture, press the View Phasors button
to display the following window:
3.4.9 PROTECTION SUMMARY

Protection Summary is a single screen which holds the summarized information of different settings from Grouped
Elements and Monitoring Elements.
The Protection Summary Screen allows the user to:
● view the output relay assignments for the elements
● modify the output relay assignments for the elements
● view the Function status for the elements
● navigate to the respective element screen on a button click.
1601-0320 123
With EnerVista D&I Setup software running and communications established, select the Setpoints > Protection
Summary menu item to open the Protection Summary window.
3.4.10 FLEXLOGIC FAVOURITES

With EnerVista D&I Setup software version 2.70 and above, use the FlexLogic Favourites to create a customized
list of FlexLogic operands that use Format Code FC142.
Select Edit FlexLogic Favourites from either the offline menu or the popup menu from an offline CID file to access
a screen where the FlexLogic Favourite list can be modified. The FlexLogic Favourites screen includes a left tree
that shows all the FlexLogic Operands available for the CID file. The right tree shows all the FlexLogic operands
included in the Favourites list.
In the FlexLogic Favourites screen, press the Smart Update button to examine the CID file. Any FlexLogic
operands associated with an enabled feature/element will be added to the FlexLogic Favourites list. Operands will
never be automatically removed from the Favourites list, but can be removed manually by selecting the operand
and pressing the << button. Operands can also be added to the Favourites list by selecting the operands in the left
tree and pressing the >> button.
Select the check-box to use FlexLogic Favourites in any screen with a setting that is configured using the FlexLogic
operand (FC142).
FlexLogic Favourites is enabled when the settings are shown in BOLD and the background color of the setting is
brighter.
3.4.11 OFFLINE SETTINGS FILE CONVERSION

EnerVista D&I Setup software supports conversion of offline settings files created in the SR Series platform. This
feature allows the conversion of existing offline setting files to 8 Series files.
EnerVista D&I Setup software reduces the manual effort required when moving from an older product to a newer
product. The settings file conversion feature takes an existing settings file and generates a new settings file
compatible with the relay specified with the order code. After the import is complete, the results are displayed in an
interactive results window.
3.4.11.1 CONVERTING LEGACY FILES

EnerVista D&I Setup software software version 1.6x and above supports conversion of SR 489 files above version
4.0 only to 889 settings files. For files below version 4.0x, first convert these files to version 4.0 or higher using the
latest EnerVista D&I Setup software 489 Setup software before doing the conversion.
The conversion can only be initialized with EnerVista D&I Setup software from the Offline/New Settings File
commands located in the taskbar, as follows:
1. In the menu taskbar, click on Offline and select the New Settings File item. The Create New Settings File
dialog box appears, which allows for the setpoint file conversion.
2. Select the Firmware Version and Order Code option for the new setpoint file.
3. For future reference, enter some useful information in the Description box to facilitate the identification of the
device and purpose for the file.
4. To select the file name and path for the new file, click the button beside the File Name box.
124 1601-0320
5. To select the SR settings file used for initialization, check the box to the left of Initialize Settings from SR

6. To locate and select the file to convert, click the ellipsis button beside the Initialize Settings from SR Settings
File box.
7. Click OK to begin the conversion and complete the process. Once this step is completed, the new file, with a
complete path, is added to the EnerVista D&I Setup software software environment.
Note:
If there are settings that are not applicable to the later model, they are ignored and will not appear in the settings list.
3.4.11.2 CONVERSION SUMMARY REPORT

At the end of the conversion process, the results are summarized in a Settings Conversion Report.
The report is found under Device Definition in the offline file window.
Note:
Print the Settings Conversion Report immediately following conversion for future reference in case the report is removed or
the settings are modified from the EnerVista D&I Setup software.
3.4.11.3 RESULTS WINDOW

The conversion summary results window has the following columns:
● SettingName: the same tree structure as in the offline window, but with status icons
● SettingValue: the converted value for the settings file
● Original SettingName: setting name of the input file
● Original SettingValue: setting value of the input file
Note:
All other settings available (not shown in the conversion report) in the file are set to default and must be verified before putting
the relay into service.
Settings in the results window are linked to setting screens. Click in the results window to navigate to the corresponding
settings window.

4.2 ABOUT SETPOINTS

The relay has a considerable number of programmable setpoints, all of which make the relay extremely flexible.
These setpoints have been grouped into a variety of menus which are available from the paths shown below. Each
setpoints menu has sub-sections that describe in detail the setpoints found on that menu.
Note:
Use the path provided to access the menus from the front panel and from the EnerVista D&I Setup software software.
Certain named settings allow custom names. Do not create 13-character long names using the largest width characters (i.e.
WWWWWWWWWWWWW). Doing so can cause the last 3 characters to overlap the setting name when viewed from the HMI
or the EnerVista D&I Setup software software.
Figure 65: Main Setpoints Display Hierarchy
130 1601-0320
4.3 SETPOINTS ENTRY METHODS

Before placing the relay in operation, you must enter the setpoints, which define the system characteristics, inputs,
relay outputs, and protection settings. You can use one of the following methods:
● Front panel, using the keypad and the display.
● Front USB port, connected to a portable computer running the EnerVista D&I Setup software software.
● Rear Ethernet, copper or fiber port connected to portable computer running the EnerVista D&I Setup software
software.
● Rear RS485 port and a SCADA system running user-written software.
● If applicable for your model, using the Wi-Fi wireless connection to a portable computer running the EnerVista
D&I Setup software software.
Using a computer is the easiest method, as files can be stored and downloaded for fast, error free entry. To facilitate
this process, the EnerVista D&I Setup software software is is available for download. The relay leaves the factory
with setpoints programmed to default values, and it is these values that are shown in all the setpoint message
illustrations.
At a minimum, you must set the Setpoints > System setpoints for the system to function correctly. To safeguard
against the installation of a relay whose setpoints have not been entered, the Out-Of-Service self-test warning is
displayed. In addition, the Critical Failure relay is de-energized. Once the relay has been programmed for the
intended application, you should change the Setpoints > Device > Installation > Device In Service setpoint from
Not Ready (the default) to Ready. Before putting the relay in the Ready state, you should work through each page
of setpoint messages, entering values either by keypad or computer.
1601-0320 131
4.4 COMMON SETPOINTS

To make the application of this device as simple as possible, similar methods of operation and similar types of
setpoints are incorporated in various features. Rather than repeat operation descriptions for this class of setpoint
throughout the manual, a general description is presented in this overview. Details that are specific to a particular
feature are included in the discussion of the feature. The form and nature of these setpoints is described below.
FUNCTION
The <ELEMENT_NAME> FUNCTION setpoint determines the operational characteristic of each feature. The range
for this setpoint is: Disabled, Trip, Latched Trip, Alarm, Latched Alarm and Configurable.
If the FUNCTION setpoint is selected as Disabled, then the feature is not operational.
If FUNCTION is selected as Trip or Latched Trip, then the feature is operational. When the Trip or Latched
Trip function is selected and the feature operates, the output relay #1 Trip operates (when selected as Trip
Relay), and the TRIP LED is lit.
When the Latched Trip function is selected and the feature operates, the TRIP LED and trip output operands will
remain latched. The Latched Trip can be reset by issuing the reset command.
If FUNCTION is selected as Alarm or Latched Alarm, then the feature is operational. When this function is
selected and the feature operates, the ALARM LED is lit and any assigned auxiliary output relays operate. The Trip
output relay does not operate, and the TRIP LED is not lit.
When FUNCTION is selected as Latched Alarm, operation of the Latched Alarm function depends on the
selection of the setting LATCH ALARM OPERATION, configured under Path: Setpoints > Device > Installation.
When the setting LATCH ALARM OPERATION is set to Self-Reset while an element is set to Latched Alarm,
only the Alarm LED will remain latched. When setting LATCH ALARM OPERATION to Latched, both Alarm LED
and element will remain latched.
When Alarm is selected and the feature operates, the ALARM LED flashes, and it self-resets when the operating
conditions are cleared.
If FUNCTION is selected as Configurable, the feature is fully operational but outputs are not driving any action,
such as output relay #1, ALARM LED or anything else. Operands from this element must be programmed to the
required action which may be as simple as the auxiliary output relay from the list of available relays in the element
itself; FlexLogic, Trip Bus etc.
Note:
The FlexLogic operands generated by the operation of each feature are active, and available to assign to outputs, or use in
FlexLogic equations, regardless of the selected function, except when the function is set to Disabled.
PICKUP
The setpoint selects the threshold equal to or above (for over elements) or equal to or below (for under elements)
which the measured parameter causes an output from the measuring element.
PICKUP DELAY
The setpoint selects a fixed time interval to delay an input signal from appearing as an output.
DROPOUT DELAY
The setpoint selects a fixed time interval to delay dropping out the output signal after being generated.
132 1601-0320
TDM
The setting provides a selection for Time Dial Multiplier which modifies the operating times per the selected inverse
curve. For example, if an IEEE Extremely Inverse curve is selected with TDM=2, and the fault current is 5 times
bigger than the pickup level, operation of the element can not occur until 2.59 s after pickup.
OUTPUT RELAYS
The <ELEMENT_NAME> RELAYS setpoint selects the relays required to operate when the feature generates an
output. The range is Operate or Do Not Operate, and can be applied to any combination of the auxiliary output
relays. The default setting is Do Not Operate.
The available auxiliary relays vary depending on the order code.
DIRECTION
The <ELEMENT_NAME> DIRECTION setpoint is available for overcurrent features which are subject to control
from a directional element. The range is Disabled, Forward, and Reverse. If set to Disabled, the element is
allowed to operate for current flow in any direction. There is no supervision from the directional element. If set to
Forward, the OC element is allowed to operate when the fault is detected by the directional element in forward
direction. In this mode, the OC element does not operate for fault in reverse direction. If set to Reverse, the OC
element is allowed to operate when the fault is detected in reverse direction, and does not operate in forward
direction.
RESET
Selection of an Instantaneous or a Timed reset is provided by this setting. If Instantaneous is selected, the
element resets instantaneously providing the quantity drops below 97 to 98% of the pickup level before the time for
operation is reached. If Timed is selected, the time to reset is calculated based on the reset equation for the
selected inverse curve.
BLOCK
The <ELEMENT_NAME> BLOCK setpoint selects an operand from the list of FlexLogic operands, which when
active, blocks the feature from running. When set to On the feature is always blocked; when set to Off, block is
disabled.
EVENTS
The <ELEMENT_NAME> EVENTS setpoint can be set to Enabled, or Disabled. If set to Enabled, the events
associated with the pickup, operation, or other conditions of the feature are recorded in the Event Recorder.
TARGETS
The <ELEMENT_NAME> TARGETS setpoint can be set to Disabled, Self-Reset, or Latched. If set to Self-
Reset, or Latched, the targets associated with the pickup, operation, or another condition of the feature are
displayed on the screen of the 8 Series 889 relay. The targets disappear from the screen when Self-Reset is
selected, and the conditions are cleared. The targets stay on the screen, when Latched is selected, and the
conditions are cleared.
1601-0320 133
Note:
The targets of status, control and pickup conditions are always self-reset type, regardless of the Self-Reset, or Latched
configuration of setpoint <ELEMENT_NAME> TARGETS.
To ensure the settings file inside the relay is updated, wait 30 seconds after a setpoint change before cycling power.
When IP addresses are changed and sent as a Settings file, the unit reboots twice.

4.5 LOGIC DIAGRAMS

Refer to the logic diagrams provided for a complete understanding of the operation of each feature. These
sequential logic diagrams illustrate how each setpoint, input parameter, and internal logic is used in a feature to
obtain an output. In addition to these logic diagrams, the Setpoints chapter provides written descriptions for each
feature.
● Setpoints: Shown as a block with a heading labeled SETPOINT. The exact wording of the displayed setpoint
message identifies the setpoint. Major functional setpoint selections are listed below the name and are
incorporated in the logic.
● Comparator Blocks: Shown as a block with an inset box labeled RUN with the associated pickup/dropout
setpoint shown directly above. Element operation of the detector is controlled by the signal entering the RUN
inset. The measurement/comparison can only be performed if a logic 1 is provided at the RUN input. The
relationship between a setpoint and input parameter is indicated by the following symbols: < (less than), >
(greater than), etc.
● Pickup and Dropout Time Delays: Shown as a block with indication of two timers – the tPKP (Pickup Delay),
and tDPO(Dropout Delay).
● LED Indicators: Shown as the following schematic symbol (X).
● Logic: Described with basic logic gates (AND, OR, XOR, NAND, NOR). The inverter (logical NOT), is shown
as a circle: O
● FlexLogic operands: Shown as a block with a heading labeled FLEXLOGIC OPERANDS. Each feature
produces output flags (operands) which can be used further for creating logic in the FlexLogic equation editor,
or Trip Bus, or can be directly assigned to trigger an output. The operands from all relay features constitute
the list of FlexLogic operands.

5.3 CUSTOM CONFIGURATION

The custom configuration features allows you to customize the configurations as desired.
Configuration Mode
The 8-series platform, supports a multitude of functions and features including:
● Protection and Control (P&C)
● Asset Monitoring
● Flexible Logic Engine (FlexLogic)
● Records and Reporting
● Time Synchronization
● Testing/Simulation
Taking into consideration user experience, configuration mode controls how the Setpoints are presented by only
displaying settings that are typically used, or settings that are important to configure.
Two configuration modes are supported:
● Simplified - In this mode, some of the functions, features and settings are hidden or made read-only (grayed
out). All the settings made in Regular configuration mode are still applied during simplified mode (they are
either hidden or read-only), so simplified configuration mode can also be seen as a way of locking advanced
setpoints.
● Regular - In this mode, all function/features and setpoints of the device are editable and nothing is hidden or
grayed out.
Configuration mode is applicable to the Setpoints items only and does not control view/presentation to other main
menu items, such as Device Definition, Status, Metering, Records, Commands and Maintenance. The configuration
mode setting is available to be changed by the Administrator role. The configuration mode control is applicable to
device HMI and setup software, as well as online and offline setting files.
Note:
Configuration mode does not disable the device functionality or settings. It only controls the view or presentation on the HMI
and setup software screens. Therefore, settings which are hidden or Read-only are preserved and applied within the device.
The home icon on the home page changes color according to the configuration mode. When in Simplified
configuration mode, the home icon color is green. When in regular mode the home icon color is blue.
Example 1: Setting items view control

The Phase TOC 1 function in Regular mode has 14 editable setpoints. In the Simplified mode this function has only
6 out of the 14 setpoints made available to edit. 5 setpoints are hidden, and 3 setpoints are read/view-only.
Note:
All setpoints under Regular mode are still applied and used by the device. For example the Input is hidden but configured as
Phasor during Regular mode, therefore Phase TOC 1 still applies Phasor as an input. Similarly, Reset is read-only, and
Phase TOC 1 still applies Instantaneous for resetting. The read-only settings are greyed out.

The differences in the Inputs setpoint screens for Regular and Simplified mode are shown below. Under Simplified
mode, the Virtual Inputs and Remote Inputs are hidden for any configuration change. However, the device will still
accept and process virtual and remote inputs based on what is configured during Regular mode. This way,
Simplified configuration mode does not change the behavior of the device.

CONFIG MODE
Path: Setpoints > Device > Config Mode
Range: Simplified, Regular
Default: Regular
This setting allows selection of the configuration mode while the device is accessed by the Administrator role. In
Regular configuration mode, all values in settings/functions can be edited. In Simplified configuration mode,
selected settings/functions are hidden or the values are read-only to enhance user experience with minimum
setpoint changes.

5.4 REAL-TIME CLOCK

Path: Setpoints > Device > Real Time Clock
The relay is capable of receiving a time reference from several time sources in addition to its own internal clock for
the purpose of time-stamping events, transient recorders and other occurrences within the relay. The accuracy of
the time stamp is based on the time reference that is used. The relay supports an internal clock, SNTP, IRIG-B, and
PTP IEEE 1588 (version 2) as potential time references.
If two or more time sources are available, the time source with the higher priority shown in Time Sources table is
used where 1 is considered to be the highest priority. Please note that the time source priority of PTP and IRIG-B
can be swapped. If both PTP and IRIG-B are available, by default the clock syncs to PTP over IRIG-B. If PTP is not
available, the CPU syncs the internal clock to IRIG-B.
Time Sources
Time Source Priority
PTP (IEEE1588) 1*
IRIG-B 2*
SNTP 3
Internal Clock 4
* The priority of IRIG-B and PTP can be swapped.
Note:
Synchronization by IEC103, DNP, Modbus and IEC104 is not going to be issued if there is a sync source from IRIG-B, SNTP
or PTP.
5.4.1 PTP CONFIGURATION

Path: Setpoints > Device > Real Time Clock > Precision Time
PORT 4(5) PTP FUNCTION

Range: Disabled, Enabled
Default: Enabled
When the port setting is selected as Disabled PTP is disabled on the port. The relay does not generate, or
listen to, PTP messages on the port.
PORT 4(5) PATH DELAY ADDER

Range: 0 to 60000 ns in steps of 1 ns
Default: 0 ns
The time delivered by PTP is advanced by the time value in the setting prior to the time being used to
synchronize the relay’s real time clock. This is to compensate for time delivery delays not compensated for in the
network. In a fully compliant Power Profile (PP) network, the peer delay and the processing delay mechanisms
compensate for all the delays between the grandmaster and the relay. In such networks, the setting is zero.
In networks containing one or more switches and/or clocks that do not implement both of these mechanisms, not
all delays are compensated, so the time of message arrival at the relay is later than the time indicated in the
message. The setting can be used to approximately compensate for the delay. Since the relay is not aware of
144 1601-0320
network switching that dynamically changes the amount of uncompensated delay, there is no setting that always
completely corrects for uncompensated delay. A setting can be chosen that reduces worst-case error to half of
the range between minimum and maximum uncompensated delay if these values are known.
PORT 4(5) PATH DELAY ASYMMETRY

Range: -1000 to +1000 ns in steps of 1 ns
Default: 0 ns
The setting corresponds to Delay Asymmetry in PTP, which is used by the peer delay mechanism to compensate
for any difference in the propagation delay between the two directions of a link. Except in unusual cases, the two
fibers are of essentially identical length and composition, so the setting is set to zero.
In unusual cases where the length of link is different in different directions, the setting is to be set to the number
of nanoseconds longer the Ethernet propagation delay is to the relay compared with the mean of path
propagation delays to and from the relay. For instance, if it is known say from the physical length of the fibers
and the propagation speed in the fibers that the delay from the relay to the Ethernet switch it is connected to is
9000 ns and that the delay from the switch to the relay is 11000 ns, then the mean delay is 10000 ns, and the
path delay asymmetry is +1000 ns.
STRICT POWER PROFILE

Range: Enabled, Disabled
Default: Enabled
Power profile (IEEE Std C37.238™ 2011) requires that the grandmaster clock be power profile compliant, that
the delivered time have a worst-case error of ±1 µs, and that the peer delay mechanism be implemented. With
the strict power profile setting enabled, the relay selects as master only clocks displaying the IEEE_C37_238
identification codes. It uses a port only when the peer delay mechanism is operational. With the strict power
profile setting disabled, the relay uses clocks without the power profile identification when no power profile clocks
are present, and uses ports even if the peer delay mechanism is non-operational.
The setting applies to all of the relay’s PTP-capable ports.
PTP DOMAIN NUMBER

Range: 0 to 255
Default: 0
The setting is set to the domain number of the grandmaster-capable clock(s) to which they can be synchronized.
A network may support multiple time distribution domains, each distinguished with a unique domain number.
More commonly, there is a single domain using the default domain number zero.
PTP VLAN PRIORITY

Range: 0 to 7
Default: 4
The setting selects the value of the priority field in the 802.1Q VLAN tag in request messages issued by the
relay’s peer delay mechanism. In compliance with PP (Power Profile) the default VLAN priority is 4, but it is
recommended that in accordance with PTP it be set to 7.
Depending on the characteristics of the device to which the relay is directly linked, VLAN Priority may have no
effect.
1601-0320 145
PTP VLAN ID
Range: 0 to 4095
Default: 0
The setting selects the value of the ID field in the 802.1Q VLAN tag in request messages issued by the relay’s
peer delay mechanism. It is provided in compliance with PP (Power Profile). As these messages have a
destination address that indicates they are not to be bridged, their VLAN ID serves no function, and so may be
left at its default value.
Depending on the characteristics of the device to which the relay is directly linked, VLAN ID may have no effect.
PTP PRIORITY
Range: 1, 2
Default: 1
The setting sets the priority of PTP time for the relay. If set to 1 and IRIG-B is available, the relay syncs the
relay’s time reference to the PTP time. If set to 2 and IRIG-B is available, the relay syncs its reference to IRIG-B
time.
5.4.2 CLOCK
Path:Setpoints > Device > Real Time Clock > Clock

Note:
IRIG-B is available in all relays. A failure on IRIG-B triggers an event and a target message.
IRIG-B is auto-detected. The signal type is detected in the hardware, so there are no configurable options.
1601-0320 147
5.4.3 SNTP PROTOCOL

8 series relays accept time synchronization from up to two different SNTP servers. In order to define number of
SNTP servers to be used, different settings for each SNTP server must be configured.
● If one SNTP server is used to synchronize the relay, the SNTP Server and UDP port settings must be
configured with the corresponding settings.
● If two SNTP servers are used to synchronize the relay, the SNTP Server IP and UDP port for the main server
must be configured, along with the SNP Server 2 IP and UDP port for the back-up server.
Note:
8 Series relays only support SNTP unicast. It may take 2-3 minutes for the relay to synchronize with the SNTP server.

5.5 SECURITY
OVERVIEW
The Multilin delivers full cyber security data classification with the use of security levels that help the user to comply
with security standards and guidelines. For Cyber Security, there is a choice of two order code options - Basic or
Advanced Security (CyberSentry):
● Basic Security – The basic security feature is the default offering of the product. It supports role based
access control (RBAC), encrypted communication between the IED and EnerVista configuration software,
with other functionalities such as security events storage on the IED, Inactivity Timeout and Lockout based on
authentication failure.
● CyberSentry – This feature refers to the advanced security options available as a software option. When this
option is purchased, it is automatically enabled and Basic Security is disabled. It supports the same
functionality as a Basic Security IED, but additionally it supports user management with non-shared accounts,
centralized authentication and logging of security events in syslog format to the configured syslog server. It
also supports the configuration of two US servers and two syslog servers to ensure redundancy and
availability.
GENERAL RULES FOR ROLES

● In an Advanced security device, all the roles (defined on the device as well as defined on the RADIUS server)
are password protected. In a basic security device, all the roles are password protected, except for the
Viewer role which is user-defined on the device. A user with Viewer capability, defined on the RADIUS server,
is password protected.
● All the roles, except for the Viewer role, support only one session at one time.
● The Viewer role has read-only access to all values in the relay except for one service command which is
described in the Password Recovery Procedure section below.
● In an Advanced security IED, all the roles can choose to log out. In a basic security IED, all the roles, except
for the Viewer, are able to log out.
● The setpoint access is used for the purpose of bypassing security on the interface defined by the BYPASS
ACCESS setting.
● The setpoint access setting may be either switched directly on or assigned to a digital input.
● If the setpoint access setting is assigned to a digital input, the digital input needs to be activated through a
physical key (jumper).
● The setpoint access setting may be set only by an Administrator.
PASSWORD COMPLEXITY
The password complexity is available on both Basic Security and Advanced Security.
If password complexity is enabled, a user account requires an alpha-numeric password that meets the following
requirements:
● Passwords cannot contain the user account name or parts of the user's full name that exceed two
consecutive characters
● Passwords must be 8 to 20 characters in length
● Passwords must contain characters from the following four categories: - English uppercase characters (A
through Z) - English lowercase characters (a through z) - Base 10 digits (0 through 9) - Non-alphanumeric
characters (e.g. ~, !, @, #, $,%,&)
1601-0320 149
PASSWORD RECOVERY PROCEDURE

In the event of losing all passwords, the 8 Series 889 can be reset to factory defaults by following the procedure
below:
1. Send an email to the customer support department providing a valid serial number and using a recognizable
corporate email account. (Worldwide e-mail: [email protected])
2. Customer support provides the code to reset the relay to factory defaults.
3. Enter the code provided from the front panel, under the menu Setpoints > Device > Installation > Service
Command to reset the relay to factory defaults.
Note:
Even a Viewer may execute this operation.
The current limitation for the maximum number of Viewer sessions from EnerVista is three when the
Communications card is present.
When the communications card is not present, a maximum of two Viewer sessions may be initiated through
EnerVista. If two Viewers are connected, a third connection is only allowed for an Administrator. No Operator has
access. However, if an Operator is connected, before any other user, only one Viewer is allowed so that an
Administrator can connect. This is because the maximum number of TCP connections from EnerVista, when the
Communications card is not present, is only three. (With a Communications card, the maximum number of TCP
connections is five.)
SECURE TUNNELING
The following items are supported in the feature:
● Under the CyberSentry option, the Multilin supports SSH secure tunneling of MODBUS communications
between itself and EnerVista setup software.
● SSH secure tunneling is supported on Ethernet only.
● If bypass security is set (through setpoint access), the communications over Ethernet is not encrypted.
SECURITY EVENTS STORED ON IED

The Security_Events.CSV file stores security events information. A total of 1024 events are stored in a circular
buffer in a non-volatile memory. Once the file reaches its limit, the oldest event will get over-written by the newest
event.The following information will be supported and stored in the events file for each event:
● Event Number
● Data/Time (UTC)
● Username
● IP Address
● Role
● Activity Value
This file will be stored on the IED and is accessible from SFTP clients for users with the Administrator role. For
Basic Security, this is the only file to give security audit information to the user. This file is useful for Advanced
Security users if the syslog server is either not configured or not functioning.

5.5.1 BASIC SECURITY

The 8 Series 889 Basic Security supports four roles: Administrator, Engineer, Operator and Viewer.
The main settings structure is available from Path: Setpoints > Device > Security.
LOGIN
The setting allows a user to login with a specific role.
1. Whenever a new role is logged in, the user is prompted to enter a password.
2. If the wrong password is entered, an Authentication Failed! message is displayed
3. If the maximum failed authentications occur an Account Blocked! message is displayed.
4. The Viewer is the default choice and it does not require a password.
LOGOUT
This setting logs out the current user and logs in as Viewer. If the user is already an Viewer, this setting does not
apply. When logging out, a switch to Viewer role is performed.
CHANGE PASSWORDS
1. The Change local passwords menu is shown on the front panel and EnerVista on a successful login of
Administrator role.
2. If password complexity is enabled, the rules as defined in Security must be obeyed. If password complexity is
disabled this setting accepts 1 to 20 alphanumeric characters. See Path: Setpoints > Device > Security >
Change Local Passwords.
3. The default password is 0, which is programmed from the factory.
4. The login setting in this menu is similar to that in the parent security settings.
5. The Viewer does not have password associated with it, so it is not shown in this setting.
LOAD FACTORY DEFAULTS

The Administrator role can change this setting. This setting resets all the settings, communication and Security
passwords, and all records.
ACCESS LOCKOUT
Access lockout is the number of failed authentications (the default is 3 and the maximum is 99) before the device
blocks subsequent authentication attempts for the lockout period. A value of 0 means Access Lockout is disabled.
152 1601-0320
ACCESS LOCKOUT PERIOD

Access lockout period is the period of time in minutes of a lockout (the default is 3 and the maximum is 9999). A
value of 0 means that there is no lockout period.
ACCESS TIMEOUT
Access timeout is the time of idleness before a logged in user is automatically logged out. This timeout applies to all
users, independent of the communication channel (serial, Ethernet or direct access).
PASSWORD COMPLEXITY
This setting is available so that the option of selecting between simple passwords and complex ones is provided.
● The setting is only available to Administrator.
● By default Password Complexity is Disabled.
● When Password Complexity is Enabled, it follows the rules defined in Security.
BYPASS ACCESS
This feature allows security authentication to be bypassed. Once this setting is anything other than Disabled, the
user gets Administrator access rights on the configured interface for the period of time when the SETPOINT
ACCESS setting is On. For example, if user configures BYPASS ACCESS as Local, then no user authentication is
needed to access the device over USB or HMI when SETPOINT ACCESS is On. Another option is to configure
BYPASS ACCESS as HMI only - enabling the user to view and modify all settings, view actual values or execute
commands. The use of this feature should be restricted only in commissioning phase or when it is considered safe.
SETPOINT ACCESS
This setting is only available to Administrator. It is used for the purpose of bypassing security. It can be either
switched on or assigned to a digital input. If assigned to a digital input, the digital input needs to be activated
through a physical key.
Note:
If the maximum number of Viewer roles already logged in on the relay has been reached, you must log in on the Security
screen within one minute of making the connection otherwise your session is terminated.
FACTORY SERVICE MODE

When the factory service mode feature is enabled, the device may go into factory service mode. The default value
is Disabled.
REQUIRE PW FOR RESET KEY

This setting is only available to the Administrator. The Require PW for Reset Key is used for the purpose of
bypassing security. If this setting is Enabled and an alarm or trip occurs on the relay, the Reset button is not
available to the Operator. Only the Administrator can reset the relay with their password.
REQUIRE PW FOR D/T CHANGE

The date/time can be set by any role, if this setting is disabled. If this setting is enabled the date/time can only be
set by the Administrator.
1601-0320 153
REQUIRE PW FOR CONTROL

If this setting is disabled, Operator controls do not require a password. If this setting is Enabled, an Operator
password is required. By default Require PW for Control is Enabled.

Figure 69: Security Settings Structure
SECURITY SETTINGS
AUTHENTICATION METHOD
Range: Device, Server/Device, Device/Server
Default: Device/Server
The AUTHENTICATION METHOD setting allows user to configure the priority for authentication method for each
authentication attempt. If user selects Device Authentication, then only Local authentication will be utilized. The
relay will not communicate with RADIUS server for authentication. When user selects Server/Device
Authentication then the relay will first connect with remote RADIUS server for authentication but if that is not
reachable then it will authenticate user based on local database of credentials. If Device/Server
authentication is selected, then priority for authentication will be given to device credentials database driven. If
that fails, then the relay will try to connect to remote RADIUS server for authentication.
1601-0320 155
LOGIN
Range: Administrator, Engineer, Operator, Viewer
Default: Viewer
The setting allows a user to login with a specific role.
Whenever a new role is logged in, the user is prompted to enter a password. If the wrong password is entered,
an Authentication Failed! message is displayed. If the maximum failed authentications occur, the Account
Blocked! message is displayed. Viewer is the default and it does not require a password.
LOGOUT
Range: Yes, No
Default: No
This setting logs out the current user. When logging out from the panel, a switch to the Viewer role is performed.
DEVICE AUTHENTICATION
Range: Yes, No
Default: Yes
Device authentication setting offers the option to disable or enable this type of authentication. By default device
authentication is on, but the option to turn it off is provided and may be chosen when a RADIUS server is
accessible and will be used exclusively.
Only an Administrator role may change this setting. If an Administrator disables it, the role remains logged in, but
it is not allowed to write any other settings. In Enervista, a popup window warns that such changes are not going
to be saved.
If device authentication is disabled, Enervista still displays both radio buttons for choosing between device and
server authentication. See the EnerVista Setup section below. However the drop down menu, when local is
selected, has only the Administrator option. Once logged in, this role is only able to switch on device
authentication. After switching on the device authentication, the Administrator gains write access to all the other
settings without the need to logout and login again.
LOAD FACTORY DEFAULTS

Range: Yes, No
Default: No
An Administrator role is able to change this setting. This resets all the settings, communication and security
passwords, and all records.
ACCESS LOCKOUT
Range: 0-99
Default: 3
This is the set number of failed authentications before the device blocks subsequent authentication attempts for
the lockout period. A value of 0 means that Access Lockout is disabled.
ACCESS LOCKOUT PERIOD

Range: 0-9999 minutes
156 1601-0320
Default: 3 minutes
This is the set period of time in minutes of a lockout. A value of 0 means that there is no lockout period.
Note:
The lockout period is measured from the moment the maximum number of failed authentications has been reached.
Additional attempts to login during the lockout period do not extend this time.
ACCESS TIMEOUT
Range: 2-999 minutes
Default: 5 minutes
This is the time of idleness before a logged in user is automatically logged out. The Access Timeout setting
applies to all users, independent of the communication channel (serial, Ethernet or direct access).
ENABLE PASSWORD COMPLEXITY

Default: Disabled
This setting is available to provide the option of selecting between simple passwords and complex ones. It is
only available to the Administrator role.The default password is ChangeMe1# When password complexity is
enabled, it follows the rules defined in Security.
SYSLOG PRIMARY IP ADDRESS

Range: 0.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.254
Default: 0.0.0.0
This is the Primary IP address of the target Syslog server all security events are transmitted to.
SYSLOG SECONDARY IP ADDRESS

Range: 0.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.254
Default: 0.0.0.0
This is the Secondary IP address of the target Syslog server all security events are transmitted to.
SYSLOG PORT NUMBER

Range: 1 to 65535
Default: 514
This sets the UDP port number of the target Syslog server all security events are transmitted to.
SETPOINT ACCESS
Range: Off, On, Digital Input
Default: Off
This setting is only available to the Administrator role. Setpoint Access may be assigned to a digital input.
When the digital input is activated, the user has Administrator access to the front panel.
1601-0320 157
FACTORY SERVICE MODE

Default: Disabled
When the feature is Enabled, the Factory role is accessible and the device can enter factory service mode.The
setting may be changed only by an Administrator.
Note:
The factory role password cannot be altered.
REQUIRE PW FOR RESET KEY

Default: Disabled
If this setting is Enabled and an alarm or trip occurs on the relay, the Reset button is not available to the
Operator. Only the Administrator can reset the relay with their password.
REQUIRE PW FOR D/T CHANGE

Default: Disabled
The date/time can be set by any role, if this setting is disabled. If this setting is enabled the date/time can only be
set by an Administrator.
CHANGE PASSWORD SETTINGS

The two menu items: Change Administrator Password, and Change Observer Password are available only to
Administrator, which is the only role that has permissions to change passwords for itself and the other local roles.
Each password change menu has two settings: New Password and Confirm Password. With Enable Password
Complexity enabled, each setting can have 6 to 20 alphanumeric characters. With Enable Password Complexity
disabled, each setting takes 1 to 20 alphanumeric characters.
If Enable Password Complexity is enabled, its rules must be obeyed. The default password is 0. The Viewer role
does not have a password associated with it, so there is no need to show it in the list of password changing roles.
ENERVISTA SETUP
For the software setup the following applies:
● Some security settings (such as Radius configuration) are only accessible and configurable through the
Enervista program.
● The Enervista software only allows for changes that are permitted by the user’s logged in role. For example,
the Observer role cannot write to any settings, but can only view.
158 1601-0320
● If the settings file is modified off line, the relay checks for the role of the user and allows the download only if
the role is Administrator (see table below). If the role is different, Enervista notifies the user via a pop-up
window that this operation is allowed only for Administrators.
● The Enervista Login Screen has two radio buttons to choose between device and server authentication.
○ If server authentication is chosen, the screen provides User Name: and Password: fields
○ If device authentication is chosen the User Name: field changes to a drop down menu. If device
authentication is enabled internally, the drop down menu contains all predefined roles. If device
authentication is disabled, the drop down menu has only the Administrator option. This is to allow for
switching on the device authentication. Once logged in, the Administrator is only able to turn on the
device authentication, but once the device authentication is enabled, access to all the other settings is
granted.
● A file download may be performed only from the relay.

Note:
In special cases security settings, such as RADIUS IP address and port, if modified offline, can result in interruption of service
when applied online, if the user is not aware of the change having been made. For this reason, if these settings have been
modified, offline, they will not be written during the file write operation.
RADIUS SETTINGS
The following are settings that need to be configured through Enervista in order to set up communication with two
RADIUS servers. For configuring the RADIUS server itself, consult the RADIUS documentation. An example is
provided, see Communications Guide.

5.6 COMMUNICATIONS
8-series relays relays have a two-stage communications capability. The base CPU supports the Modbus protocol
through the Ethernet, USB and serial ports. In addition, the base CPU also supports the IEC 103, DNP serial, DNP
TCP/IP, Ethernet and TFTP protocol. Once the communications module option is added to the base, the
communications module supports IEC 61850 Ed.2. The communications CPU also supports Modbus TCP, DNP
TCP, TFTP, SFTP, and SNTP protocol.
5.6.1 GENERAL COMMUNICATIONS SETUP
Note:
The below settings are applied only to devices with IEC 61850 order codes.
MULTI-LEVEL CONTROL
Default: Disabled
When set to Enabled, control authority from multiple levels (Bay, Station and Remote) are allowed
simultaneously, based on Local/Remote status and status authority status. Otherwise only one level has the
authority to control, based on Local/Remote status and status authority status.
IED LOCAL STATUS

Range: Off, Any FlexLogic operand
Default: Off
This selects an operand that indicates whether the IED is in Local or Remote mode. When the operand value is
set, the IED is in Local mode and any commands from remote protocols (IEC 61850, DNP3, IEC 104 or 103,
Modbus) are rejected.
5.6.2 MODBUS PROTOCOL

All Ethernet ports and serial communication ports support the Modbus protocol. The only exception is if the serial
port has been configured for DNP or IEC 60870-5-103 operation (see descriptions below). This allows the EnerVista
D&I Setup software (which is a Modbus master application) to communicate with the relay.
The relay implements a subset of the Modicon Modbus RTU serial communication standard. The Modbus protocol
is hardware-independent. That is, the physical layer can be any of a variety of standard hardware configurations.
This includes USB, RS485, fiber optics, etc. Modbus is a single master / multiple slave type of protocol suitable for a
multi-drop configuration.
The relay is always a Modbus slave with a valid slave address range 1 to 254.
DATA FRAME FORMAT AND DATA RATE

One data frame of an asynchronous transmission to or from a relay typically consists of 1 start bit, 8 data bits, and 1
stop bit. This produces a 10-bit data frame. This is important for transmission through modems at high bit rates.
Modbus protocol can be implemented at any standard communication speed. The relay supports operation at 9600,
19200, 38400, 57600, and 115200 bps baud rate. The USB interface supports ModBus TCP/IP.
162 1601-0320
FUNCTION CODE SUPPORTED

The following functions are supported:
● FUNCTION CODE 03H - Read Setpoints
● FUNCTION CODE 04H - Read Actual Values
● FUNCTION CODE 05H - Execute Operation
● FUNCTION CODE 06H - Store Single Setpoint
● FUNCTION CODE 07H - Read Device Status
● FUNCTION CODE 08H - Loopback Test
● FUNCTION CODE 10H - Store Multiple Setpoints
● FUNCTION CODE 42H - Group Settings Read
● FUNCTION CODE 43H - Group Settings Write
When a ModBus master such as the EnerVista D&I Setup software communicates with the relay over Ethernet, the
relay slave address, TCP port number and IP address for the associated port must be configured and are also
configured within the Master for this device. The default ModBus TCP port number is 502.
5.6.3 MODBUS CONFIGURABLE PARAMETERS

The following ModBus parameters are configurable:
Path:Setpoints > Device > Communications > Modbus Protocol
MODBUS SLAVE ADDRESS

Default: 254
For the RS485 ports each 8 Series 889 must have a unique address from 1 to 254. Address 0 is the broadcast
address to which all Modbus slave devices listen. Addresses do not have to be sequential, but no two devices
can have the same address, otherwise conflicts resulting in errors occur. Generally, each device added to the
link uses the next higher address starting at 1.
MODBUS TCP PORT NUMBER

Default: 502
The TCP port number used with Modbus over Ethernet. Note that the maximum number of simultaneous
Modbus connections supported over Ethernet is three for an 8 Series 889 without the communications card and
five for an 8 Series 889 with the communications card.
COMPATIBILITY
Range: Disabled, SR489, FlexMap
Default: Disabled
Compatibility mode changes the Modbus actual value registers to emulate an SR489 relay. The emulation
supports typical actual value data for common data items.
Starting in version 2.90, choose FlexMap for SR489 support to include support for additional SR489 registers
See the 8 Series Protective Relay Communications guide for the list.
1601-0320 163
Note:
When in compatibility mode the rear RS485 port and the rear Ethernet ports are not accessible via EnerVista D&I Setup
software so it is not possible to change any settings, view actual values or retrieve records. When in compatibility mode the
actual values supported can be read via the rear RS485 or rear Ethernet Ports using Modbus Master e.g. PLC or DCS. The
front USB port should be used for connection and EnerVista D&I Setup software activities.
FLEXMAP FILE
Range: Up to 13 alphanumeric characters
Default: SR489XAFlexMap.000
The Flexmap File describes the translation from the Modbus memory map to the target Modbus memory map.
MODBUS 485 READ ACTUALS

Range: Function Code 03h, Function Code 04h
Default: Function Code 04h
The Modbus 485 Read Actuals setting configures the Function Code that the relay responds to from a Modbus
Master when Actual Values are requested. Use this setting in scenarios where the Modbus Master can only
communicate using Function Code 03h for requesting Actual Values.
Note:
This setting applies only to the RS485 connection.
When this setting is changed to Function Code 03h, retrieving configuration settings through the RS485 port is not possible.
MODBUS ACTIVITY TIMEOUT

Range: 0 to 3600 s in steps of 1 s
Default: 0 s
The Modbus Activity Timeout specifies the minimum time without Modbus communication. This timeout is
used to declare the Modbus Loss of Communication state.
The Modbus state is always Active if the Modbus Activity Timeout is 0 s.
MODBUS ERROR RESPONSES

The following exception response codes are implemented.
Error ID Exception Description
01 ILLEGAL FUNCTION The function code transmitted is not one of the functions supported by the 8
Series 889.
02 ILLEGAL DATA ADDRESS The address referenced in the data field transmitted by the master is not an
allowable address for the 8 Series 889.
03 ILLEGAL DATA VALUE The value referenced in the data field transmitted by the master is not within
range for the selected data address.
5.6.4 RS485
On the rear, the relay is equipped with two RS485 serial communication ports. The RS485 port has settings for
baud rate and parity. It is important that these parameters agree with the settings used on the computer or other
164 1601-0320
equipment connected to this port. A maximum of 32 relays can be daisy-chained and connected to a DCS, PLC or a
PC using the RS485 port.
Path: Setpoints > Device > Communications > RS485
BAUD RATE
Range: 2400, 4800, 9600, 1200, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200
Default: 115200
PARITY
Range: None, Odd, Even
Default: None
PORT PROTOCOL
Range: Modbus, DNP 3.0, IEC 60870-5-103
Default: Modbus
5.6.5 USB
The USB parameters are as follows:
IP Address: 172.16.0.2
IP Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
IP GWY IP Address: 172.16.0.1
Note:
Whenever the device is rebooted, the USB cable needs to be unplugged and plugged in again for proper communication to be
established over USB.
Connecting multiple relays over USB to a single PC is not possible because in the case of USB, the IP address of
the device 172.16.0.2 is constant.
5.6.6 ETHERNET PORTS

The following communication offerings are available.
Base Offering
● 2x Copper (RJ45) Ports
● Modes: 10/100 Mbps
● Protocols: Modbus TCP, DNP 3.0, IEC 61850 GOOSE, SNTP, IEC 62439-3 clause 4 (PRP)

1601-0320 165
5.6.6.1 NETWORK SETTINGS MENU

This section describes the network settings menu. If the communications card is installed network port 1 is no
longer available. When using more than one Ethernet port, configure each to belong to a different network or subnet
using the IP addresses and mask, else communication becomes unpredictable when more than one port is
configured to the same subnet.
Note:
Use the softkeys and Down/Up key to enter an IP address. When entering an IP address you must press the BACK key first
to switch between softkey mode and the Down/Up key mode.
NETWORK 1, 2, 4, 5
Range: Standard IPV4 Address format
Default: 192.168.11.11 (Port 1)
Default: 192.168.11.12 (Port 2)
Default: 192.168.11.13 (Port 4)
Default: 192.168.11.14 (Port 5)
The setting sets the port’s IPV4 address in standard IPV4 format.
Note:
The setting is valid on Port 2(5) if Prt1(4) is set to Independent
Note:
The setting is valid on Port 2 if Prt1 Operation is set to Independent.
Note:
172.17.X.X/16 and 172.18.X.X/16 are reserved IPs.
PRT1(1,2,4,5) SUBNET IP MASK

Range: Standard IPV4 mask format
Default: 255.255.255.0 (Port 1, 2, 4, 5)
This setting specifies the IPv4 mask associated with the corresponding port IP address.
PRT1 OPERATION
Range: Independent, LLA, PRP
Default: Independent
This setting determines the mode of operation for ports 1 and 2: Independent, LLA or PRP.
Independent operation: Ports 1, 2, 4 and 5 operate independently with their own MAC and IP address.
166 1601-0320
LLA operation: Ports 1, 2, 4 and 5 use port 1’s MAC and IP address settings while port 2 is in standby mode in
that it does not actively communicate on the Ethernet network but monitors its link. If port 1 is active and the link
loss problem is detected, communications is switched to port 2 immediately. Port 2 is, in effect, acting as a
redundant or backup link to the network for port 1.
LLA (Link Loss Alert): is a proprietary feature supported by the fiber optic ports. When enabled, this feature is
able to detect a failure of the fiber link. If Prt1 Operation is set to LLA, the detection of a link failure by this
feature triggers the transfer of communications. If LLA is enabled on a port with a non-fiber SFP, the target
message LLA not supported by Prt (1 or 2) is displayed on the keypad and an event is logged.
Note:
LLA is not available on port 4,5 copper (RJ45). When the port operation is selected, the relay requires a reboot for the setting
to be applied.
Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP) operation: Ports 1 and 2 use the same MAC address and combine
information at the link layer. It is intended to only be used if the two ports are connected to separate parallel
LAN’s. In this mode of operation, both ports cannot be connected to the same LAN. The receiving devices (8
Series 889) process the first frame received and discard the duplicate through a link redundancy entity (LRE) or
similar service that operates below layer 2. Aside from LRE, PRP uses conventional Ethernet hardware but both
ports must know they are in PRP. Ports of PRP devices operating with the same Internet Protocol (IP) addresses
for traffic that uses IP Management protocols such as Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) must operate
correctly.
Duplicate Discard mode: This is the normal setting for PRP operation and once set it allows the sender LRE to
append a six-octet field that contains a sequence number, the Redundancy Control Trailer (RCT) to both frames
it sends. The receiver LRE uses the sequence number of the RCT and the source MAC address to detect
duplicates. It forwards only the first frame of a pair to its upper layers.
Note:
NOTE: redundancy operations work in pairs Port1/2 and Port4/5 only. It is not interchangeable between all ports.
5.6.7 ROUTING
When the configuration card is present, a default route and a maximum number of 6 static routes can be configured.
The default route is used as the last choice, if no other route towards a given destination is found.
Path: Setpoints > Device > Communications > Routing > Default Route
GATEWAY ADDRESS
Range: Standard IPV4 unicast address format (0.0.0.1 to 223.255.255.254)
Default: 127.0.0.1
This setting sets the gateway of the default route to be used by IP traffic sent from the relay, if no other route
towards a given IP destination is found.
This setting is available only if the communications card is present.
Path: Setpoints > Device > Communications > Routing > Static RT1 (2 to 6)
RT1 (2,3,4,5,6) DESTINATION

Range: Standard IPV4 network address format (0.0.0.1 to 223.255.255.254)
1601-0320 167
Default: 127.0.0.1
This setting sets the destination IPv4 route. This setting is available only if the communications card is present.
RT1 (2,3,4,5,6) MASK

Range: Standard IPV4 network mask format
Default: 255.0.0.0
This setting sets the IP mask associated with the route. This setting is available only if the communications card
is present.
RT1 (2,3,4,5,6) GATEWAY

Range: Standard IPV4 unicast address format (0.0.0.1 to 223.255.255.254)
Default: 127.0.0.1
This setting sets the destination IP route. This setting is available only if the communications card is present.
RULES FOR ADDING AND DELETING STATIC ROUTES

1. By default, the value of the destination field is 127.0.0.1 for all static routes (1 to 6). This is equivalent to
saying that the static routes are not configured. When the destination address is 127.0.0.1, the mask and
gateway must also be kept as default values.
2. By default, the value of the default route gateway address is 127.0.0.1. This means the default route is not
configured.
3. Use any of the static network route entries numbered 1 to 6 to configure a static network route. Once a route
destination is configured for any of the entries 1 to 6, that entry becomes a static route and it must meet all
the rules listed in Important Notes below.
4. To configure the default route, enter a default gateway address. A default gateway address configured must
be validated against Rule #5, the next rule.
5. Routes are deleted by replacing the route destination with the default address (127.0.0.1). When deleting a
route, the mask and gateway must also be put back to their default values.
6. The default route is deleted by replacing the default gateway with the default value 127.0.0.1.
Note:
Host routes are not supported at present.
The route mask has IPv4 mask format. In binary this is a set of contiguous bits of 1 from left to right, followed by one or more
contiguous bits of 0.
The route destination and mask must match. This can be verified by checking that RtDestination & RtMask == RtDestination
This is an example of a good configuration: RtDestination= 10.1.1.0; Rt Mask= 255.255.255.0
This is an example of a bad configuration: RtDestination = 10.1.1.1; Rt Mask= 255.255.255.0
The route destination must not be a connected network.
The route gateway must be on a connected network. This rule applies to the gateway address of the default route as well.
This can be verified by checking that: RtGwy & Prt4Mask) == (Prt4IP & Prt4Mask) || (RtGwy & Prt5Mask) == (Prt5IP &
Prt5Mask)
TARGETS
Wrong Route Config
Description: A route with mismatched destination and mask has been configured.
Message: Wrong route configuration.
168 1601-0320
Solution: Rectify the IP address and mask of the mis-configured route.
TOPOLOGY
Figure 70: Topology Example
In the topology example above, the Multilin device is connected through the two Ethernet ports available on the
communications card.
Port1 (IP address 10.1.1.2) connects to LAN 10.1.1.0/24 and to the Internet through Router1. Router 1 has an
interface on 10.1.1.0/24 and the IP address of this interface is 10.1.1.1.
Port2 (IP address 10.1.2.2) connects to LAN 10.1.2.0/24 and to EnerVista D&I Setup software through Router 2.
Router 2 has an interface on 10.1.2.0/24 and the IP address of this interface is 10.1.2.1.
Configuration
Network addresses:
PRT21IP ADDRESS = 10.1.1.2PRT1 SUBNET IP MASK = 255.255.255.0PRT2 IP ADDRESS = 10.1.2.2PRT2
SUBNET IP MASK = 255.255.255.0
Routing Settings:
IPV4 DEFAULT ROUTE: GATEWAY ADDRESS = 10.1.1.1
STATIC NETWORK ROUTE 1: RT1 DESTINATION = 10.1.3.0/24RT1 NET MASK = 255.255.255.0RT1
GATEWAY = 10.1.2.1
Behavior:
One static network route was added to the destination 10.1.3.0/24, where a laptop running Enervista is located.
This static route uses a different gateway (10.1.2.1) than the default route. This gateway is the address of Router
2, which is aware of destination 10.1.3.0 and is able to route packets coming from the device and destined to
Enervista.
5.6.8 DNP PROTOCOL SETTINGS

Path: Setpoints > Device > Communications > DNP protocol
1601-0320 169
DNP Channel 1(2) Port

Range: None, Network - TCP, Network - UDP
Default: None
The DNP Channel 1 Port and DNP Channel 2 Port settings select the communications port assigned to the
DNP protocol for each channel. When set to Network - TCP, the DNP protocol can be used over TCP/IP on
channels 1 or 2. When set to Network - UDP, the DNP protocol can be used over UDP/IP.
DNP Address
Default: 65519
The DNP address sets the DNP slave address. This number identifies the device on a DNP communications
link. Each DNP slave must be assigned a unique address.
DNP Client Address 1(2)

Range: standard IP address
Default: 0.0.0.0
The DNP Client Address settings can force the device to respond to a maximum of two specific DNP masters.
DNP TCP/UDP Port 1(2)

Default: 2000
Note:
DNP Channel 1 Port will take the DNP TCP/UDP Port 1 and DNP Client Address 1 to allow/reject connections. The same
relation is used by channel 2.
DNP Unsol Resp Function

Default: Disabled
This setting will take effect for Ethernet communication only if the main card is present or a comms card is
available in the device. This setting enables/disables the unsolicited response functionality. It is disabled for
RS485 applications since there is no collision avoidance mechanism.
DNP Unsol Resp Timeout

Range: 0 to 60 s in steps of 1
Default: 5 s
Sets the time the relay waits for a DNP master to confirm an unsolicited response.
Unsol Resp Max Retries

Default: 10
170 1601-0320
Sets the number of times the device retransmits an unsolicited response without receiving confirmation from the
master; a value of 255 allows infinite re-tries.
Unsol Resp At Startup (F/W version 4.00 onwards)

Default: Disabled
When relay is rebooting, unsolicited responses work without an Enable message needed, but this is only
possible once the Master resets the communications with the relay. This happens with both Reset Link or Class
1 request messages.
DNP Unsol Resp Dest Addr

Default: 1
Sets the DNP address to which all unsolicited responses are sent. The IP address to which unsolicited
responses are sent is determined by the device from the current TCP connection or the most recent UDP
message.
DNP Time Sync IIN Period

Range: 1 to 10080 min. in steps of 1
Default: 1440 min
This setting determines how often the Need Time Internal Indication (IIN) bit is set by the device. Changing this
time allows the DNP master to send time synchronization commands more or less often, as required.
Note:
If the requirement for synchronization is more than a couple of seconds, consider synchronization via other means such as
IRIG-B or 1588. Given network asymmetry, the consistency of the network latency, clock drift, and additional delays due to
routers located between the client and the device all contribute error.
DNP Message Fragment Size

Default: 240
This setting determines the size, in bytes, at which message fragmentation occurs. Large fragment sizes allow
for more efficient throughput; smaller fragment sizes cause more application layer confirmations to be necessary
which can provide for more robust data transfer over noisy communication channels.
DNP OBJECT 1(32) Default Variation

These settings allow selection of the DNP default variation number for object types 1, 2, 20, 21, 22, 23, 30, and
32. The default variation refers to the variation response when variation 0 is requested and/or in class 0, 1, 2, or
3 scans.
TCP Connection Timeout

Default: 120 s
1601-0320 171
This setting specifies a time delay for the detection of dead network TCP connections. If there is no data traffic
on a DNP TCP connection for greater than the time specified by this setting, the connection will be aborted.. This
frees up the connection to be re-used by a client.

Binary input points (DNP) or MSP points (IEC 60870-5-104)

You can configure the binary inputs points for the DNP protocol, or the MSP points for IEC 60870-5-104 protocol to
a maximum of 96 points. The data source for each point is user-programmable and can be configured by assigning
FlexLogic operands. For a complete list, see Format Code FC142.

Range: / 0.001, / 0.01, / 0.1, / 1, / 10, / 100, / 1000, / 10000, / 100000
Default: /1
These are numbers used to scale analog input point values. Each setting represents the scale factor for the
analog input point. For example, if the DNP PHASE A VOLTAGE SCALE FACTOR setting is set to / 1000,
and the Phase A voltage is 72000 V, the Phase A voltage sent on to the relay is 72 V. The settings are useful
when analog input values must be adjusted to fit within certain ranges in DNP masters.
Note:
A scale factor of / 0.1 is equivalent to a multiplier of 10.
DNP ANALOG INPUT POINT 0(255) DEADBAND

172 1601-0320
Default: 30000
The setting is the threshold value to define the condition to trigger unsolicited responses containing analog input
data. Each setting represents the default deadband value for the associated analog input. For example, to
trigger unsolicited responses from the relay when phase A current changes by 15 A, the DNP Current Deadband
for Phase A current should be set to 15. Note that these settings are the deadband default values. DNP object
34 points can be used to change deadband values from the default for each individual DNP analog input point.
Whenever power is removed and re-applied, the new deadbands are in effect.
Binary output points (DNP) or CSC/CDC points (IEC 60870-5-104)

You can configure the binary output points for the DNP protocol, or the CSC/CDC points for IEC 60870-5-104
protocol to a maximum of 16 points. The data source for each point is user-programmable and can be configured by
assigning FlexLogic operands. The menu path for the binary output points (DNP) or CSC/CDC points (IEC
60870-5-104) is shown below.
Path: Setpoints > Device > Communications > DNP/IEC104 Point Lists > Binary Output / CSC/CDC Points
Binary Output Point 0 ON
Binary Output Point 0 OFF
...
Binary Output Point 31 ON
Binary Output Point 31 OFF
Note:
The DNP/IEC 60870-5-104 point lists always begin with point 0 and end at the first Off value. Since DNP / IEC 60870-5-104
point lists must be in one continuous block, any points assigned after the first Off point are ignored.
BINARY INPUT POINTS

The DNP binary input data points are configured through the DNP/IEC104 POINT LISTS BINARY INPUT/MSP
POINTS menu. When a freeze function is performed on a binary counter point, the frozen value is available in the
corresponding frozen counter point.
● Static (Steady-State) Object Number: 1
● Change Event Object Number: 2
● Request Function Codes supported: 1 (read), 22 (assign class)
● Static Variation reported when variation 0 requested: 2 (Binary Input with status), Configurable

POINT NAME/DESCRIPTION COUNTERS

The following details lists both Binary Counters (Object 20) and Frozen Counters (Object 21). When a freeze
function is performed on a Binary Counter point, the frozen value is available in the corresponding Frozen Counter
point. Digital Counter values are represented as 16 or 32-bit integers. The DNP 3.0 protocol defines counters to be
unsigned integers. Care should be taken when interpreting negative counter values.

ANALOG INPUTS
It is important to note that 16-bit and 32-bit variations of analog inputs are transmitted through DNP as signed
numbers. Even for analog input points that are not valid as negative values, the maximum positive representation is
32767 for 16-bit values and 2147483647 for 32-bit values. This is a DNP requirement. The deadbands for all Analog
174 1601-0320
Input points are in the same units as the Analog Input quantity. For example, an Analog Input quantity measured in
volts has a corresponding deadband in units of volts. Relay settings are available to set default deadband values
according to data type. Deadbands for individual Analog Input Points can be set using DNP Object 34.
1. A default variation refers to the variation response when variation 0 is requested and/or in class 0, 1, 2, or 3
scans. The default variations for object types 1, 2, 20, 21, 22, 23, 30, and 32 are selected via relay settings.
This optimizes the class 0 poll data size.
2. For static (non-change-event) objects, qualifiers 17 or 28 are only responded when a request is sent with
qualifiers 17 or 28, respectively. Otherwise, static object requests sent with qualifiers 00, 01, 06, 07, or 08,
are responded with qualifiers 00 or 01. For change event objects, qualifiers 17 or 28 are always responded.
Cold restarts are implemented the same as warm restarts – the relay is not restarted, but the DNP process is
restarted.
5.6.9 IEC60870-5-104
The IEC 60870-5-104 communications protocol is supported on Ethernet ports 4 and 5 only. Setting changes
become active after rebooting.
Note:
Both DNP and IEC104 protocol can work at the same time, but consider that there is only one point map. So, the two
protocols use the same data mapping, i.e., same point index and same point source.
The relay supports up to two IEC104 client connections simultaneously.

By default the Object Information Address for the different data is as follows:
M_SP (Single Points) = 1000
M_ME (Measured value) = 2000
M_IT (Integrated Totals) = 3000
C_SC or C_DC (Single or Double Command) = 4000
1601-0320 175
P_ME_NB (Parameter of measured value) = 5000

Each Measured value has a Parameter of measured value (P_ME_NB) associated to its threshold.
The IEC 60870-5-104 Deadbands settings are used to determine when to trigger spontaneous responses
containing M_ME_NB_1 analog data. Each setting represents the threshold value for each M_ME_NB_1 analog
point.
For example, to trigger spontaneous responses when a current value changes by 15 A, the Analog Point xx
Deadband setting should be set to 15. Note that these settings are the default values of the deadbands.
P_ME_NB_1 (parameter of measured value, scaled value) points can be used to change threshold values, from the
default, for each individual M_ME_NB_1 analog point. There are three ways to send the measurands to the Master
station. The measurands are part of the General Group and Group 2, so when a general interrogation or group 2
interrogation takes place all the measurands are included in the response. Also, there is a cyclic data period setting
where it is configured in the scan period to send the measurands to the Master. And the last way, is by sending
spontaneously when a deadband overflow takes place. The IEC104 Channels sub-menu information is shown
below.
Commands are executed over the Binary Outputs. The first 8 Binary Outputs are configured to receive Select/
Operate Commands and the next 8 Binary Outputs are configured to receive Direct Execute Commands.
The IEC104 CHANNEL 1 PORT and IEC104 CHANNEL 2 PORT settings select the communications port assigned
to the IEC104 protocol for each channel. When this setting is set to Network - TCP, the IEC104 protocol can be
used over TCP/IP on channels 1 or 2. The IEC104 NETWORK CLIENT ADDRESS settings can force the relay to
respond to a maximum of two specific IEC104 masters which own the configured IP Addresses. The settings in this
sub-menu are shown below.
Note:
IEC104 CHANNEL 1 PORT takes the Port Number 1 and Client Address 1 to allow or reject connections. The same
method is used by channel 2.
GROUPS OF DATA
The data is organized into groups in order to provide values when the controlling station requests them by a general
or group interrogation.
Group 1 is set by the 96 Single Points (M_SP).
Group 2 is set by the 32 Measured values (M_ME).
Group 3 is set by the 32 Measured thresholds (P_ME).
These 96 Single Points and 32 Measured Values are also sent as a response to a General Interrogation.
The Integrated Totals (M_IT) has its own Counter Group 1, and it is sent as a response to a General Request
Counter.
5.6.10 IEC60870-5-103
The point map for the 103 is different from the one shared by the IEC104 and DNP protocols. IEC 60870-5-103
serial communications protocol is supported on the rear RS485 port only.
The DNP, IEC 103 and Modbus cannot be enabled simultaneously. Only one instance of DNP 3.0, IEC 103 or
Modbus can run on the RS485 serial port.

All binary inputs are configured from FlexLogic operands. For a complete list, see Format Code FC142.
Note:
Pay attention when configuring the function type and information number of the different points, because they must be unique.
There is no mechanism in the EnerVista D&I Setup software or the front panel HMI to detect duplication of the information
index.
The IEC 60870-5-103 point lists always begin with point 0 and end at the first Off value. Since IEC 60870-5-103 point lists
must be in one continuous block, any points assigned after the first Off point are ignored.
5.6.11 IEC 61850

The optional communications processor supports both the IEC 61850 GOOSE and IEC 61850 MMS Server service
as per IEC 61850 standard Ed. 2. The GOOSE messaging service provides the ability for the relay to Publish/
Subscribe Digital Input and other element statuses and its Quality and Timestamp to/from other IEDs with
supporting GOOSE messaging service. Server support allows remote control center, RTU/Gateway, local HMI or
other client role devices access to the relay for monitoring and control. The configuration of IEC 61850 services is
accomplished using the EnerVista D&I Setup software.
The IEC 61850 Server (i.e. the relay) reports information to the IEC 61850 Client, such as the Local HMI, RTU and
Gateway. This information consists of logical device data, data sets, data control block, logical nodes and their data
attributes.
Appendix B lists the implementation details of IEC 61850, including the logical nodes and number of instances for
each that are supported..

5.6.11.1 IEC61850 CONFIGURATOR

The relay supports the IEC 61850 protocol, which is an order code option.
The IEC 61850 configurator is found in both the online and offline section of the EnerVista D&I Setup software for
configuring the online and offline settings file respectively.
1601-0320 177
ONLINE SETTINGS FILE

Two options are available to configure the relay’s online settings file.
1. Configuration
○ Configure the device through the Device Setup or Quick connect screen.
○ The IEC 61850 Configurator item is displayed after Maintenance.
○ Launch the online IEC 61850 configurator screen, by double-clicking on IEC61850 Configurator.
○ Select the required settings from the different tab displays (in the configurator screen) to complete the
IEC 61850 configuration.
2. Online right-click option
○ Select any online relay and right click on the selected item. More options become available for
selection, as described below.
ADDITIONAL OPTIONS
Generate ICD file: The menu option generates a default ICD file with the respective order code option and saves
the file to the path selected previously.
Read Device Settings: The menu option reads all the settings from the relay by TFTP and creates a file with
extension *.CID. The created *.CID file consists of two sections. A private section where all non IEC 61850 settings
are available, and a public section in which IEC 61850 related settings are implemented.
178 1601-0320
When creating a CID file using a 3rd party ICT/SCL tool, ensure the following:
● The order code in the CID file must match the device order code if writing the CID file directly into the relay.
The Desc value in communication settings of the CID file must match the relay’s order code.
● The maximum allowed services must be equal or below the specified limits as in ICD/CID.
● Configure Datasets only in LLN0 logical node.
● Creating new LD, LN, and communication-AP settings is not recommended.
OFFLINE SETTINGS FILE

The Generate ICD File menu option generates a default ICD file with the respective order code option and saves
the file to the path selected previously.
IEC 61850 CONFIGURATOR DETAILS

The IEC61850 Configurator allows editing of all sections of the IEC 61850 CID and ICD file. No other operations
can be performed in the EnerVista D&I Setup software if the IEC61850 Configurator is open. Close the IEC 61850
session to perform other operations.
Note:
When the IEC 61850 configuration is saved while online, the DEVICE IN SERVICE state (Setpoints > Device > Installation)
switches to Not Ready for the duration of the upload. This ensures that all new settings are applied before the device is
operational.
The IEC61850 Configurator consists of five sections:

5.7 TRANSIENT RECORDER

The Transient Recorder contains waveforms captured at the same sampling rate as the other relay data at the point
of trigger. By default, data is captured for all AC current and voltage inputs available on the relay as ordered.
Transient record is generated upon change of state of at least one of the assigned triggers: Trigger Source,
Trigger on Any Pickup, Trigger on Any Operate, Trigger on Alarm, or Trigger on Trip.
The number of cycles captured in a single transient record varies based on the number of records, sample rate, and
the number of selected channels. There is a fixed amount of data storage for the Transient Recorder: the more data
captured, the less the number of cycles captured per record.
Path: Setpoints > Device > Transient Recorder
NUMBER OF RECORDS
Default: 5
The selection from the range defines the desired number of records.
SAMPLES PER CYCLE

Range: 8/c, 16/c, 32/c, 64/c, 128/c
Default: 32/c
This setpoint provides a selection of samples-per-cycle for representing the waveform. The waveform records
can be viewed using the EnerVista D&I Setup software software.
TRIGGER MODE
Range: Overwrite, Protected
Default: Overwrite
When Overwrite setting is selected, the new records overwrite the old ones, meaning the relay will always
keep the newest records as per the selected number of records. In Protected mode, the relay will keep the
number of records corresponding to the selected number of records, without saving further records that are
beyond the selected number of records.
TRIGGER POSITION
Range: 0 to 100% in steps of 1%
Default: 20%
This setting indicates the location of the trigger with respect to the selected length of record. For example at 20%
selected trigger position, the length of each record will be split on 20% pre-trigger data, and 80% post-trigger
data.
TRIGGER SOURCE:
Default: Off
The trigger source can be any digital input: an operand from the list of FlexLogic operands, a contact input, a
contact output, a virtual input or output, or a remote input or output.
1601-0320 181
TRIGGER ON ANY PICKUP

Range: On, Off
Default: Off
Selection of On enables triggering of the recorder upon pickup condition detected by any of the protection or
control elements.
TRIGGER ON ANY OPERATE

Range: On, Off
Default: Off
Selection of On enables triggering of the recorder upon operate state of any of the enabled protection or control
elements.
TRIGGER ON TRIP
Range: On, Off
Default: Off
Selecting the On setting enables triggering of the recorder when any of the protection elements configured as a
Trip function operates, or the state of the operand assigned to operate the #1 Trip output relay changes to
High.
TRIGGER ON ALARM
Range: On, Off
Default: Off
Selecting On setting enables triggering of the recorder when any of the protection elements configured as
Alarm, or Latched Alarm function operates, or the state of the operand assigned to trigger the Alarm LED
changes to High.
DIGITAL INPUT 1 to 64
Default: Off
ANALOG INPUT 1 to 16
Range: Off, Any FlexLogic analog parameter
Default: Off
Note:
A consecutive transient record cannot be triggered until the first record has been completed.
182 1601-0320
5.8 DATA LOGGER

The data logger samples and records up to 16 analog parameters at a configured rate. All data is stored in non-
volatile memory, where the information is retained upon a relay control power loss.
The data logger can be configured with a few channels over a long period of time, or with larger number of channels
for a shorter period of time. The relay automatically partitions the available memory between the channels in use.
The selection of the rate for logging data also affects the duration of recorded data. The data logger has longer
duration for sampling rates at longer periods of time (i.e. 1 minute, 30 minutes, 1 hour), as compared to sampling
rates at short periods (i.e. per cycle, or per second).
The recorded data can be downloaded to EnerVista D&I Setup software and displayed with parameters on the
vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis.
Note:
If data is not available for the entire duration of pre-trigger, the trigger position will be based on available pre-trigger.
Path: Setpoints > Device > Data Logger
FUNCTION
Range: Disabled, Continuous, Triggered
Default: Continuous
This setting configures the mode in which the data logger operates. When set to Continuous, the data logger
actively records any configured channels at the rate defined in the Data Logger Rate setting. The data logger is
idle in this mode if no channels are configured. When set to Triggered, the data logger begins to record any
configured channels at the instance of the rising edge of the trigger (FlexLogic operand). The data logger
ignores all subsequent triggers and continues to record data until the active record is full. Once the data logger is
full, capturing of data stops until it is cleared.
Clear Data Logger
Once the data logger is full, a Clear Data Logger command is required to clear the data logger record, before a
new record can be started. Performing the Clear Data Logger command also stops the current record and resets
the data logger to be ready for the next trigger. The Clear Data Logger command is located at Setpoints >
Records > Clear Records. The Data Logger Storage Capacity table below shows an example of the
dependency of the data logger storage capacity with respect to the selected number of channels, and the
selected rate (time interval) at which the logged values are taken. The Data Logger buffer space can be
monitored to produce an alarm when the logged data occupies 80% of the data logger storage space. Target
message, and operand Data Logger ALRM is generated at this time.
TRIGGER
Default: Off
This setting selects the signal used to trigger the start of a new data logger record. Any FlexLogic operand can
be used as a trigger source. The Triggered setting only applies when the Data Logger Function is set to
“Triggered”.
1601-0320 183
TRIGGER POSITION
Range: 0 to 50% steps of 1%
Default: 20%
This setpoint defines the percentage of buffer space that is used for recording pre-trigger samples.
DATA LOG FULL ALARM (4.10 onwards)

Default: Enabled
This setpoint disables/enables the Data Logger Full event and target message.
RATE
Range: 1 cycle, 1 second, 30 seconds, 1 minute, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 6 hours, 8 hours, 12 hours, 24
hours
Default: 1 minute
This setting selects the time interval at which the actual value is recorded.
CHANNEL 1(16) SOURCE

Range: Off, Any FlexAnalog parameter
Default: Off
This setpoint selects the metering analog value that is to be recorded in Channel 1(16) of the data log. The
parameters available in a given relay are dependent on: the type of relay, the type and number of CT/VT
hardware installed, and the type and number of Analog Inputs hardware installed. Upon startup, the relay
automatically prepares the parameter list.
CHANNEL 1(16) MODE

Default: Sample
Range: Sample, Min, Max, Mean
This setpoint defines the type of sample to be logged in the data logger record with respect to the selected rate,
i.e the time interval selected under the setpoint Rate.
While enabled the Data Logger executes every protection pass and each of the four modes —Sample, Max,
Min or Mean. The FlexAnalog values are updated at protection-pass rate:
In Sample mode the data logger records the FlexAnalog value updated in the first protection-pass from the time
interval selected under setpoint Rate.
In Max mode the data logger records the maximum protection pass value of the selected FlexAnalog parameter
from all protection pass values from the time interval selected under setpoint Rate.
In Min mode the data logger records the minimum protection pass value of the selected FlexAnalog parameter
from all protection pass values from the time interval selected under setpoint Rate.
In Mean mode, the data logger records the average value among all the values at protection-pass rate, from the
time interval selected under setpoint Rate.
The mean (average) is calculated simply using the well known ratio between the sum of all the values and their
number over the time interval.

5.9 FAULT REPORTS

The relay supports up to 15 fault reports. The trigger conditions and the analog quantities to be stored are entered
in this menu.
When enabled, this function monitors the pre-fault trigger. The pre-fault data are stored in the memory for
prospective creation of the fault report on the rising edge of the pre-fault trigger. The element waits for the fault
trigger as long as the pre-fault trigger is asserted, but not shorter than 1 second. When the fault trigger occurs, the
fault data is stored and the complete report is created. If the fault trigger does not occur within 1 second after the
pre-fault trigger drops out, the element resets and no record is created.
The user-programmable fault report contains a header with the following information:
● Relay model
● Device name
● Firmware revision
● Date and time of trigger
● Name of pre-fault trigger (FlexLogic operand)
● Name of Fault trigger (FlexLogic operand)
● Active setting group at the time of pre-fault trigger
● Active setting group at the time of fault trigger.
The fault report continues with the following information:
● All current and voltage phasors (one cycle after the fault trigger)
● Pre-fault values for all programmed analog channels (one cycle before pre-fault trigger)
● Fault values of all programmed analog channels (one cycle after the fault trigger)
Each Fault Report created can be saved as a text file using the Enervista software. The file names are numbered
sequentially to show which file is older than the other.
The trigger can be any FlexLogic operand, but in most applications it is expected to be the same operand, usually a
virtual output, that is used to drive an output relay to trip a breaker. A Fault Rpt Trig event is automatically created
when the report is triggered.
If a number of protection elements, such as overcurrent elements, are ORed to create a fault report trigger, the first
operation of any element causing the OR gate output to become high triggers the fault report. However, If other
elements operate during the fault and the first operated element has not been reset (the OR gate output is still
high), the fault report is not triggered again. Considering the reset time of protection elements, there is very little
chance that fault report can be triggered twice in this manner. As the fault report must capture a usable amount of
pre and post-fault data, it cannot be triggered faster than every 20 ms.
The fault report stores data, in non-volatile memory, pertinent to an event when triggered. Each fault report is stored
as a file to a maximum capacity of fifteen files. A sixteenth trigger overwrites the oldest file.
The Enervista software is required to view all captured data. The relay faceplate display can be used to view the
date and time of trigger, the fault type and the distance location of the fault.
Path: Setpoints > Device > Fault Report
FUNCTION
Default: Disabled
186 1601-0320
PRE-FAULT TRIGGER
Default: Off
This setpoint specifies the FlexLogic operand to capture the pre-fault data. The rising edge of this operand
stores one cycle-old data for subsequent reporting. The element waits for the fault trigger to actually create a
record as long as the operand selected as Pre-Fault Trigger is On. If the operand remains Off for 1 second, the
element resets and no record is created.
FAULT TRIGGER
Default: Off
This setpoint specifies the FlexLogic operand to capture the fault data. The rising edge of this operand stores the
data as fault data and results in a new report. The trigger (not the pre-fault trigger) controls the date and time of
the report. The distance to fault calculations are initiated by this signal.
ANALOG CHANNELS 1 to 32
These settings specify an actual value such as voltage or current magnitude, true RMS, phase angle, frequency,
temperature, etc., to be stored should the report be created. Up to 32 analog channels can be configured.
1601-0320 187
5.10 EVENT DATA

The Event Data feature stores 64 FlexAnalog quantities each time an event occurs. The relay is able to capture a
maximum of 1024 records. The Event Data behavior matches that of the Event Recorder. This is a Platform feature
and a Basic option so it has no dependencies.
There is no enabling or disabling of the feature. It is always on.
When changes are made to the Event Data settings, the Event data is cleared and the Snapshot.txt file is deleted.
The Event Record remains as is and is not cleared.
Path: Setpoints > Device > Event Data
PARAMETER 1 to 64
Range: Off, any FlexAnalog Parameter
Default: Off
188 1601-0320
5.11 FLEX STATES

The Flex State feature provides a mechanism where any of 256 selected FlexLogic operand states or any inputs
can be used for efficient monitoring.
The feature allows user-customized access to the FlexLogic operand states in the relay. The state bits are packed
so that 16 states may be read out in a single Modbus register. The state bits can be configured so that all of the
states which are of interest are available in a minimum number of Modbus registers.
Path: Setpoints > Device > Flex States
PARAMETER 1 (to 256)

5.12 FRONT PANEL

The relay provides an easy to use faceplate for menu navigation through five navigation pushbuttons and high
quality graphical display. Conveniently located on the panel is a group of seven pushbuttons for Up/Down value
selection, Enter, Home, Escape, Help, and Reset functions. The faceplate includes three programmable function
pushbuttons with LEDs.
The ten pushbutton membrane faceplate (available for 850 only for hardware versions A and B, and all models for
hardware version C) includes ten programmable function pushbuttons and twelve programmable LEDs.
Note:
The USB port on the Front Panel is intended for connection to a portable PC.
5.12.1 PROGRAMMABLE LEDS

Path: Setpoints > Device > Front panel >Programmable LEDs

5.12.2 PROGRAMMABLE PUSHBUTTONS
Note:
The 10 pushbutton panel is available only for the 850 for hardware versions A and B, and for all models from hardware
version C.
The user-programmable pushbuttons provide an easy and error-free method of entering digital state (on, off)
information. Depending on the faceplate three to ten pushbuttons are available for programming.
The digital state of the pushbuttons can be entered only locally (by directly pressing the front panel pushbutton).
Typical applications include breaker control, autorecloser blocking and settings groups changes. The user-
programmable pushbuttons are under the control level of password protection.
Figure 72: 3 Pushbutton Front Panel
1601-0320 193
Figure 73: 10 Pushbutton Front Panel
Each pushbutton asserts its own on and off FlexLogic operands (for example, PUSHBUTTON 1 ON and
PUSHBUTTON 1 OFF). These operands are available for each pushbutton and are used to program specific
actions. Each pushbutton has an associated LED indicator. By default, this indicator displays the present status of
the corresponding pushbutton; ON or OFF. This can be changed by programming the LED Trigger setting in the
Programmable LED settings menu.
The activation and deactivation of user-programmable pushbuttons is dependent on whether latched or self-reset
mode is programmed.
LATCHED MODE
In Latched Mode, a pushbutton can be set (activated) by directly pressing the associated front panel pushbutton.
The pushbutton maintains the set state until deactivated by a Reset command or after a user-specified time delay.
The state of each pushbutton is stored in non-volatile memory and maintained through loss of control power.
194 1601-0320
The pushbutton is Reset (deactivated) in Latched Mode by directly pressing the associated active front panel
pushbutton. It can also be programmed to Reset automatically through the PB 1 AUTORESET and PB 1
AUTORESET DELAY settings. These settings enable the auto-reset timer and specify the associated time delay.
The auto-reset timer can be used in select-before-operate (SBO) switching device control applications, where the
command type (CLOSE/OPEN) must be selected prior to command execution. The selection must Reset
automatically if control is not executed within a specified time period.
SELF-RESET MODE
In Self-reset mode, a pushbutton remains active for the time it is pressed (the pulse duration) plus the Dropout time
specified in the PUSHBTN 1 DROPOUT TIME setting. The pushbutton is Reset (deactivated) in Self-reset mode
when the dropout delay specified in the PUSHBTN 1 DROPOUT TIME setting expires.The pulse duration of the
pushbutton must be at least 50 ms to operate the pushbutton. This allows the user-programmable pushbuttons to
properly operate during power cycling events and various system disturbances that may cause transient assertion
of the operating signals.
The operation of each user-programmable pushbutton can be inhibited through the PUSHBTN 1 LOCK setting. If
locking is applied, the pushbutton ignores the commands executed through the front panel pushbuttons. The locking
functions are not applied to the auto-reset feature. In this case, the inhibit function can be used in SBO control
operations to prevent the pushbutton function from being activated and ensuring “one-at-a-time” select operation.
The locking functions can also be used to prevent accidental pressing of the front panel pushbuttons.
Pushbutton states can be logged by the Event Recorder and displayed as Target Messages. In latched mode, user-
defined messages can also be associated with each pushbutton and displayed when the pushbutton is ON or
changing to OFF.
Path:Setpoints > Device > Programmable PBs > Pushbutton 1(X)
FUNCTION
Range: Self-reset, Latched, Disabled
Default: Self-reset
This setting selects the characteristic of the pushbutton. If set to Disabled the pushbutton is not active and the
corresponding FlexLogic operands (both ON and OFF) are de-asserted. If set to Self-reset the control logic is
activated by the pulse (longer than 100 ms) issued when the pushbutton is being physically pressed.
When in Self-reset mode and activated locally, the pushbutton control logic asserts the ON corresponding
FlexLogic operand as long as the pushbutton is being physically pressed, and after being released the
deactivation of the operand is delayed by the PUSHBTN 1 DROPOUT TIME setting. The OFF operand is
asserted when the pushbutton element is deactivated.
If set to Latched, the control logic alternates the state of the corresponding FlexLogic operand between ON and
OFF on each button press or by virtually activating the pushbutton (assigning Set and Reset operands). When in
Latched mode, the states of the FlexLogic operands are stored in a non-volatile memory. Should the power
supply be lost, the correct state of the pushbutton is retained upon subsequent power-up of the relay.

1601-0320 195
This setting specifies the 13-character line of the user-programmable message and is intended to provide the ID
information of the pushbutton.
ON TEXT
Default: PB1 On (or PB[X] On)
This setting specifies the 13-character line of the user-programmable message and is displayed when the
pushbutton is in the ON position.
OFF TEXT
Default: PB1 Off (or PB[X] On)
This setting specifies the 13-character line of the user-programmable message and is displayed when the
pushbutton is activated from the ON to the OFF position and the PUSHBUTTON 1 FUNCTION is Latched. This
message is not displayed when the PUSHBUTTON 1 FUNCTION is Self-reset as the pushbutton operand
status is implied to be “OFF” upon its release. The length of the “OFF” message is configured with the
PRODUCT SETUP/DISPLAY PROPERTIES/FLASH MESSAGE TIME setting.
The message programmed in the PUSHBTN 1 ID and PUSHBTN 1 ON TEXT settings will be displayed as long
as Pushbutton 1 On operand is asserted, but not longer than the time period specified by the FLASH MESSAGE
TIME setting. After the flash time has expired, the default message or other active target message is displayed.
The instantaneous Reset of the flash message will be executed if any relay front panel button is pressed or if
any new target or message becomes active.
The PUSHBTN 1 OFF TEXT setting is linked to Pushbutton 1 Off operand and will be displayed in conjunction
with PUSHBTN 1 ID only if the pushbutton element is in Latched mode.
HOLD PRESSED
Range: 0.0 to 10.0 s in steps of 0.1 s
Default: 0.1 s
This setting specifies the time required for a pushbutton to be pressed before it is deemed active.
The timer is Reset upon release of the pushbutton. Note that any pushbutton operation will require the
pushbutton to be pressed a minimum of 60 ms. This minimum time is required prior to activating the pushbutton
hold timer.
AUTORESET
Default: Disabled
This setting enables the user-programmable pushbutton Autoreset feature. The setting is applicable only if the
pushbutton is in Latched mode.
AUTORESET DELAY
Default: 1.0 s
This setting specifies the time delay for automatic Reset of the pushbutton when in the Latched mode.
196 1601-0320
LOCK
Default: Off
This setting assigns a FlexLogic operand serving to inhibit pushbutton operation from the front panel
pushbuttons. This locking functionality is not applicable to pushbutton autoreset.
DROPOUT TIME
Default: 0.0 s
This setting applies only to Self-reset mode and specifies the duration of the pushbutton “active” status after
the pushbutton has been released. The length of time the operand remains on has no effect on the pulse
duration.
The setting is required to set the duration of the pushbutton operating pulse.

5.12.3 TAB PUSHBUTTONS

The Tab Pushbuttons provide an easy and error-free method of entering digital state (on, off) information. Twenty
(20) Tab Pushbuttons are available for programming.
1601-0320 199
The digital state of the Tab Pushbuttons can be entered locally (by directly pressing the front panel pushbutton) or
through Modbus by specifying the correct COMMAND sequence. Typical applications include breaker control,
autorecloser blocking, and settings groups changes. The Tab Pushbuttons are under the control level of password
protection. Only one pushbutton can be pressed at a time. If multiple pushbuttons are pressed simultaneously, the
button pressed first takes the priority.
The Tab Pushbutton settings can be accessed from Setpoints > Device > Front Panel > Tab Pushbuttons > Tab
PB1. The Tab Pushbutton control can be executed by navigating to Status > Summary > Tab Pushbuttons. By
default, the summary page is shown to quickly glance at the active tab pushbuttons. The individual pages can then
be accessed from the summary page. Each Tab Pushbutton asserts its own OFF and ON FlexLogic operands (for
example, TAB PB 1 ON and TAB PB 1 OFF). These operands are available for each pushbutton and can be used to
program specific actions. Each pushbutton has an associated “LED” indicator. By default, this indicator displays the
present status of the corresponding pushbutton ON state.
The activation and deactivation of Tab Pushbuttons is dependent on whether latched or self-reset mode is
programmed.
SELF-RESET MODE: In Self-reset mode, a Tab Pushbutton remains active for the time it is pressed (the pulse
duration) plus the Dropout time specified in the settings. The pushbutton is deactivated in Self-reset mode when the
dropout delay specified in the Dropout Time setting expires. The pulse duration of the pushbutton must be at least
100ms to operate the pushbutton.
LATCHED MODE: In Latched Mode, a pushbutton can be set (activated) by directly pressing the associated tab
pushbutton. The pushbutton maintains the set state until deactivated by another press of the same button. The state
of each pushbutton is stored in non-volatile memory and maintained through the loss of control power.
Path: Setpoints > Device > Front Panel > Tab PBs > Tab PB1(X)
FUNCTION
Default: Self-reset (up to 3.xx)
Default: Disabled (from 4.10)
This setting selects the characteristic of the pushbutton. If disabled, the pushbutton is not active and the
corresponding FlexLogic operands (both ON and OFF) are de-asserted. If set to Self-reset the control logic is
activated by the pulse issued when the pushbutton is being physically pressed.
When in Self-Reset mode and activated locally, the pushbutton control logic asserts the Tab PB [X] ON
FlexLogic operand as long as the pushbutton is being physically pressed, and after being released the
deactivation of the operand is delayed by the Dropout Time setting. The OFF operand is asserted when the
pushbutton element is deactivated.
If set to Latched, the control logic alternates the state of the corresponding FlexLogic operand between ON and
OFF on each button press. When in Latched mode, the states of the FlexLogic operands are stored in a non-
volatile memory. Should the power supply be lost, the correct state of the pushbutton is retained upon
subsequent power-up of the relay. When the pushbutton operand is in the ON state, the operand appears on the
target message until the pushbutton is pressed again to change it to the OFF state.
ID TEXT
Default: Tab PB 1 (or Tab PB[X])
This setting specifies the 13-character line of the user-programmable message and is intended to provide the ID
information of the pushbutton. This text is used to describe the pushbutton in the FlexLogic operands.

5.12.4 ANNUNCIATOR
The graphical annunciator panel provides an emulation of a conventional physical annunciator panel with backlit
indicators each inscribed with a description of the alarm condition that lights the indicator. The annunciator has 36
user-configurable (programmable) indicators. The indicators can be arranged in pages of 3x3 or 2x2 grids. Each
indicator can have up to 3 lines of configurable text. When the indicators are not active (i.e. a configured
FlexOperand for the annunciator is not triggered), the background is black and the foreground text color is gray.
When the associated FlexOperand becomes active, the background and the foreground turns brighter in color per
the color configuration. When disabled, the indicators are grayed out with no text.
Layout
If the grid layout is selected to be 3x3, the annunciator has 4 pages. If the grid layout is 2x2, the annunciator has 9
pages. The numbering of the indicators is shown as follows.
Grid Layout 3x3 Indicator Numbering

Navigation
The annunciator panel can be displayed in two ways. By default, the annunciator panel is programmed as one of
the homescreens. This means that when on the home page, pressing the home button multiple times rotates
through all the homescreens. Alternatively, the annunciator can be accessed by navigating to Status\Summary
\Annunciator\Page1. Individual annunciator pages can also be assigned as a homepage. If the auto navigation
setting is enabled in the setup, the screen automatically jumps from home to the annunciator page with the first
active alarm. Pages with active alarms will have a maroon flashing tab pushbutton label. If other pages have active
alarms, the >> button will show a flashing label.
Path:Setpoints > Device > Front Panel > Annunciator > Annunciator Setup
RESET ANNUNCIATOR
Range: Off, any FlexLogic operand
Default: Off
1601-0320 203
This setting designates a FlexLogic operand that, when activated, acknowledges/resets all annunciator windows
in the graphical front panel. This setting is the same as that defined under Setpoints > Device > Resetting >
Reset Annunciator.
The Reset Annunctr OP (OPRD) FlexLogic operand is activated by the two sources of RESET command,
operand source and manual source. Each individual source of a RESET ANNUNCIATOR command also
activates its individual operand Reset Annunctr OP (OPRD) or Reset Annunctr OP (MNUL) to identify the source
of the command. Both of these operands generate an event in the event record when activated. The Reset
Annunciator setting selects the operand that activates the Reset Annunctr OP (OPRD) operand. The RESET
pushbutton in the front panel or the reset command from the EnerVista D&I Setup software 8 Series Setup
software activates the Reset Annunctr OP (MNUL) operand.
PAGE LAYOUT
Range: 3x3, 2x2
Default: 3x3
This setting selects the grid layout of the annunciator pages. The default 3x3 grid layout provides 4 annunciator
pages and 2x2 provides 9 pages.

This setting when enabled, automatically navigates to the annunciator panel page from where the indication was
triggered. While in the annunciator panel, if no action is taken, the screen returns back to the home page after
the timeout setting.
FOCUSED NAVIGATION
Default: Disabled
When this setting is enabled at the same time as the AUTO NAVIGATION setting, the page that has the active
indicator will come into focus. The focus will change to the newest indicator as soon as that becomes active.
Target Messages and Default Screens both have a lower priority than the FOCUSED NAVIGATION setting of
the Annunciator Panel.
Path:Setpoints > Device > Front Panel > Annunciator > Indicator 1(36)
ALARM INPUT
Range: Off, any FlexLogic Operand
Default: Off
This setting specifies the input operand used to activate the corresponding indicator.
ALARM TYPE
Range: Off, Self-Reset, Latched
Default: Off
This setting specifies the alarm type. Self-Reset alarms track the state of the corresponding input operand.
Latched alarms can be reset using Reset pushbutton or through Acknowledgment via graphical front panel.
204 1601-0320
The alarm type of each annunciator indicator may be configured as Off, Self-Reset, or Latched. The default
mode is Off. In this mode, the indicator is grayed out without any text. In self-reset mode, the indicator’s inactive
state is by default in black background with dark gray color text. When the associated operand becomes active
(i.e. the assigned FlexOperand is triggered), the configured background color and foreground text color appears.
In latched mode, the configured operand causes the background to flash when it becomes active. If the alarm is
then acknowledged or reset, the background stops flashing. If the operand becomes inactive, the indicator
returns to its default colors. The behavior of these modes conforms to ISA-18.1-1979 (R2004) standard - A-4-5-6
(self-reset), and M-6 (latched).
Note:
If the Annunciator Alarm was initiated by another element that is of a Latched type (e.g. Trip Bus), you must navigate out of
the Annunciator and then reset the latched element. This action will reset the latched element, the Annunciator Alarm and
also the Trip LED if applicable.

5.12.7 DEFAULT SCREENS

The relay provides the convenience of configuring and displaying up to three default screens from a predefined list.
Each type of screen to display can be selected, and the display time programmed. The sequence of displaying the
screens starts after the time of inactivity programmed in the MESSAGE TIMEOUT setpoint, when no PB has been
pressed, and no target message is present. Pressing a pushbutton, or the presence of a target message inhibits the
sequential display of default screens. The screen displays resume only after the target messages are cleared, and
no PB pressing is recorded for 30 seconds. When configured the home screen is changed to the first screen
defined by this feature. Display timeouts also return to this first screen (i.e. default screen 1).
If the default screens feature is disabled and there are no home screens programmed, the home page will show the
Metering > Summary > Values screen after the message timeout inactivity period.
Path: Setpoints > Device > Front Panel > Default Screen
208 1601-0320
FUNCTION
Default: Enabled
This setpoint enables the feature. Displaying of the screen starts 30 s after setting the feature to “Enabled”,
providing no targets have been issued, nor a PB has been pressed.
DISPLAY TIME
Default: 10 s
The display time is the amount of time that each of the three screens are displayed within the display sequence.
DEFAULT SCREEN X
Range: varieties of screens for selection
Default: SLD (for Default Screen 1 only), Off (for others)
This setpoint enables the user to input the default screens. FW versions up to 3.xx offer 3 default screens. FW
versions 4.10 and onward offer 5 default screens.
DEFAULT SCREEN INTENSITY (not available from rev 4.10 onwards)

Default: 100%
The default screen intensity can be varied so that the backlight is at a low intensity instead of being fully shut off.
5.12.8 HOME SCREENS

The home screens allow the selection of a set of pages as home pages (max. 10). Multiple home pages are
configured and navigated to by pressing the home button repeatedly. Navigate through all available home screens
by repeatedly pressing the home button.
When returning to the home screen (either by pressing escape or directly pressing the Home button) through the
different menus, the last accessed home screen is shown. Subsequent presses of the Home button navigates to the
next programmed home screen on the list.
While accessing the home screens, the tab pushbutton navigation labels show the root menu – i.e. Targets, Status,
Metering, Setpoints, and Records. The exceptions are the Tab Pushbuttons screens which instead show
pushbuttons in the navigation labels.
If the default screens are enabled, the first default screen is shown after 30 seconds plus the inactivity period
defined in Setpoints > Device > Front Panel > Display Properties > Message Timeout. If the default screens
feature and screen saver are disabled, the screen defaults to the Values screen after the inactivity period.
When the home screens are programmed and the default screens feature is enabled but the screens are set to Off,
the last accessed home screen is shown as the home page.
By Default, the first home screen is configured to show the first single line diagram.
1601-0320 209
Note:
When on any single line diagram page, if an object is selected, the home button will not function. The selected object must
first be de-selected by pressing the escape button to be able to use the home button functionality again.

5.13 RESETTING
Some events can be programmed to latch the faceplate LED event indicators and target message on the display.
Depending on the application some auxiliary output relays can be programmed to latch after the triggering event is
cleared. Once set, the latching mechanism holds all the latched indicators, messages, and auxiliary output relays in
the set state, after the initiating condition has cleared, until a RESET command is received to return these latches
(except the FlexLogic latches) to the reset state.
The RESET command can be sent from the faceplate Reset pushbutton, a remote device via a communication
channel, or any programmed FlexLogic operand. Executing the RESET command from either source creates a
general FlexLogic operand RESET OP. Each individual source of a RESET command also creates its individual
operand RESET OP (PB), RESET (COMMS), and RESET OP (OPERAND) to identify the source of the command.
RESET INPUT 1(2,3):

Default: Off
The setpoint selects an operand from the list of FlexLogic operands. The targets, LEDs, and latched output
relays reset upon assertion from any of the operands selected as Reset Inputs.
212 1601-0320
5.14 INSTALLATION
Path:Setpoints > Device > Installation
DEVICE NAME
An alphanumeric name may be assigned to the device.
DEVICE IN SERVICE
Default: Not Ready
Range: Not Ready, Ready
The relay is defaulted to the “Not Ready” state when it leaves the factory. This safeguards against the installation
of a relay whose settings have not been entered. When powered up successfully, the “IN SERVICE” LED
becomes red. The relay in the “Not Ready” state blocks signaling of any output relay. These conditions remain
until the relay is explicitly put in the “Ready” state.
SERVICE COMMAND
Range: 0 to 65535
Default: 0
TEMPERATURE DISPLAY
Range: Celsius, Fahrenheit
Default: Celsius
Selects engineering unit of temperature display.
LATCHED ALARM OPERATION

Range: Self-Reset, Latched
Default: Self-reset (845, 850, 869, 889)
Default: Latched (859)
When set to Self-Reset while a protection element is set to Latched Alarm, only the Alarm LED will remain
latched. When set to Latched, both Alarm LED and element will remain latched.
REMOTE IO DETECT VALUE

Shows the letter type of the Remote RTD card Board ID installed (e.g. GGGG).
CURRENT CUTOFF
Range: 0.000 to 1.000 p.u. in steps of 0.001 p.u.
Default: 0.020 p.u.
VOLTAGE CUTOFF
Range: 0.0 to 300.0 in steps of 0.1 V
1601-0320 213
Default: 1.0 V
Note:
Lower the Voltage Cutoff and Current Cutoff levels with care as the relay accepts lower signals as valid measurements.
Unless dictated otherwise by a specific application, the default settings of “0.020 pu” for current and “1.0 V” for voltage are
recommended.
OV/UV DPO RANGE

Range: 97–99% , 95-97%
Default: 97-99 %
This setpoint defines the drop-out range applicable for the voltage protection functions.
The enumerate value of ‘97-99%’ specifies that the dropout voltage level is achieved when the voltage level
drops below 2 % of the pickup value.
For ’95-97%’, the drop-out voltage level is specified when the voltage level drops below 4% of the pickup voltage
level.
For Undervoltage elements:
The ’97-99%’ value determines the drop-out condition of the pickup flag is given when the voltage level is higher
than 2% of the pickup voltage level.
On the other hand, the ’95-97%’ value establishes that the drop-out level of the pickup flag is given when the
voltage is higher than the 4% of the pickup voltage level.
The next table summarizes both conditions:
OV/UV DPO Range OV Functions UV Functions
(Dpo Level) (Dpo Level)
97-99% 2% [97-99% pickup] 102% [101-103% pickup]
95-97% 4% [95-97% pickup] 104% [103-105% pickup]

Target Message for the breaker status is shown when the set to ‘Enabled’. When ‘Disabled’, all target messages
related to breaker status will be blocked.
BKR 3 STATUS
Default: Enabled
214 1601-0320
5.15 SELF-TEST ERRORS

The relay performs self-diagnostics at initialization (after power up), and continuously as a background task to
ensure that the hardware and software are functioning correctly. There are two types of self-test warnings indicating
either a minor or major problem. Minor errors indicate a problem with the relay that does not compromise protection
and control functionality of the relay. Major errors indicate a problem with the relay which takes it out of service.
Caution:
Self-Test Warnings may indicate a serious problem with the relay hardware!
Upon detection of a minor problem, the relay does the following:

● Displays a detailed description of the error on the relay display as a target message
● Records the minor self-test error in the Event Recorder
● Flashes the ALARM LED
Upon detection of a major problem, the relay will:
● De-energize the relay assigned under setting Major Self-Test Relay if the relay is programmed for failsafe
operation or energized if programed for non-failsafe operation.
● De-energize all output relays
● Turn off the IN SERVICE LED
● Flash the TRIP LED
● Assert the Self-Test Trip OP FlexLogic operand
● Record the major self-test failure in the Event Recorder
When Alarm is selected as a function, upon detection of a major problem, the relay will:
● Flash the ALARM LED.
● Assert Self-Test Alarm OP FlexLogic operand.
● Display Major Self-test error as a target message
● Record the major self-test failure in the Event Recorder.
Under both conditions, the targets cannot be cleared if the error is still active.

6.4 VOLTAGE SENSING

The Voltage Sensing menu provides the setup for all VTs (PTs) connected to the relay voltage terminals.
Path: Setpoints > System > Voltage Sensing > Ph VT Bnk1-J2
PHASE VT BANK NAME

Default: Ph VT Bnk 1-J2
Enter the name of the phase voltage from bank J2.
PHASE VT CONNECTION
Range: Wye, Delta, Single
Default: Wye
Select the type of phase VT connection to match the VTs (PTs) connected to the relay.
PHASE VT SECONDARY
Range: 10.0 to 240.0 V in steps of 0.1 V
Default: 120.0 V
Select the output secondary voltage for phase VTs connected to the J2 bank.
PHASE VT RATIO
Range: 1.00 to 5000.00 in steps of 0.01
Default: 1.00
Select the phase VT ratio to match the ratio of the VTs connected to the J2 bank.
AUX. VT NAME
Default: Ax VT Bnk1-J2
Enter the name of the auxiliary voltage from bank J2.
AUX. VT CONNECTION
Range: Van, Vbn, Vcn, Vab, Vbc, Vca, Vn
Default: Van
Select the voltage type corresponding to the one applied to the Aux VT relay terminals from bank J2. Select Vn
(neutral voltage), if the neutral voltage is applied to the relay auxiliary VT.
AUX. VT SECONDARY
Default: 120.0 V
Select the output secondary voltage of the aux. VT connected to the aux. VT input from bank J2.
1601-0320 227
AUX. VT RATIO
Default: 1.00
Select the aux. VT ratio to match the ratio of the VT connected to the aux. VT input from bank J2.
Note:
The nominal PHASE VT SECONDARY and the AUX VT SECONDARY voltage settings are the voltages across the phase VT
terminals and the auxiliary VT terminals correspondingly when nominal voltage is applied.
Note:
For example, on a system of 13.8kV nominal primary voltage, and a 14400:120 volt VT in a Delta connection, the secondary
voltage would be 115V, i.e. (13800/14400)*120. For a Wye connection, the voltage value entered must be the phase to
neutral voltage which would be 115/√3 = 66.4 V.
Note:
On a 14.4 kV system with a Delta connection and a VT primary to secondary turns ratio of 14400:120, the voltage value
entered would be 120 V, i.e. 14400/120.
228 1601-0320
6.5 POWER SENSING

The power computation is performed using the voltage and current inputs. In cases when the connected VTs and
CTs have opposite polarity, the power sensing menu provides for inverting the power measurement.
Path:Setpoints > System > Power Sensing > Power 1 > Power (X)
PHASE CT&VT POLARITY

Range: Same, Inverse
Default: Same
When Inverse is selected, this setpoint inverts (multiplies phase currents by -1) the CT polarity for the phase
currents from CT bank, with respect to the phase voltages from the VT bank.
Note:
The setpoint for inversion of the power metering will be useful to avoid the physical inversion of the CT connections on the
relay. As the power metering will affect the power directional elements, the user must determine the correct forward and
reverse direction of the power, before setup.
RESET EVENT ENERGY

Default: Off
At the rising edge of the FlexLogic operand selected under this setpoint, all energy metering values (under
Metering > Energy 1(X) > Energy) are logged and reset to zero, and Reset Energy D/T is recorded and
displayed.
The logged values are displayed as the Last Event Pos(Neg) WattHours and Last Event Pos(Neg) VarHours
under Metering > Energy 1(X) > Energy Log.
An application example could be monitoring of the total energy accumulated at the end of an event or a shift
interval. An event/shift interval can be defined per the breaker status operand (open or closed) or operand
derived by the Time of Day Timer element. Time-based shift schedules can be set in the Time of Day Timer
element.
1601-0320 229
6.6 POWER SYSTEM

Path:Setpoints > System > Power System
NOMINAL FREQUENCY
Range: 60 Hz, 50 Hz
Default: 60 Hz
The power system NOMINAL FREQUENCY is used as a default to set the digital sampling rate if the system
frequency cannot be measured from available AC signals. This may happen if the signals selected for frequency
tracking are not present, or a valid frequency is not detected. Before reverting to the nominal frequency, the
frequency tracking algorithm holds the last valid frequency measurement for a safe period of time while waiting
for the signals to reappear or for the distortions to decay.
PHASE ROTATION
Range: ABC, ACB
Default: ABC
The selection of the PHASE ROTATION setting must match the power system phase rotation. The phase
sequence setting is required to properly calculate sequence components and power parameters. Note that this
setting informs the relay of the actual system phase sequence, either ABC or ACB. CT and VT inputs on the
relay labeled as a, b, and c, must be connected to system phases A, B, and C for correct operation.
REVERSE PHASE ROTATION

Default: Off
This setting dynamically reverses the phase rotation set under Setpoints > System > Power System > Phase
Rotation. For example, if the nominal phase rotation is ABC but the condition (FlexLogic operand) defined for
reverse phase rotation is true (high), then the phase rotation will switch to ACB. The reverse phase rotation
feature is only intended for use in special applications such as pumped storage schemes. As soon as the
reverse phase rotation condition (FlexLogic operand) status becomes false (low), the phase rotation goes back
to the nominal value set under Setpoints > System > Power System > Phase Rotation.
FREQUENCY TRACKING
Default: Enabled
Frequency measurement is accomplished by measuring the time between zero crossings of the composite
signal of three-phase bus voltages, line voltage or three-phase currents. The signals are passed through a low
pass filter to prevent false zero crossings. FREQUENCY TRACKING utilizes the measured frequency to set the
sampling rate for current and voltage which results in better accuracy for the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT)
algorithm for off-nominal frequencies.
The main frequency tracking source uses three-phase voltages. The frequency tracking is switched
automatically to the alternative reference source, i.e., three-phase currents signal, if the frequency detected from
the three-phase voltage inputs is declared invalid. The switching will not be performed if the frequency from the
alternative reference signal is detected invalid. Upon detecting valid frequency on the main source, the tracking
will be switched back to the main source. If a stable frequency signal is not available from any source, then the
tracking frequency defaults to the nominal system frequency.

6.9 TRANSFORMER
Note:
The Transformer setup is only available for the 889 with Overall Differential Protection order code. Two-winding Transformer
setup is used to compensate for transformer winding connection in overall differential protection.
Note:
An 889 unit ordered with the overall differential protection utilizes a two-winding transformer setup for GSU winding
compensation.
Percent differential protection is the main protection for power transformers with regards to detecting all types of
transformer internal fault. This protection is based on Kirchoff’s law, where the sum of all currents flowing in and out
of the protected equipment equals zero. However, when applying this law to the overall differential protection, one
must keep in mind that the direct summation of the measured currents per-phase, does not automatically result into
zero differential current. This is because:
1. The transformer voltage ratio defines different winding nominal currents
2. The winding CTs are not rated to the exact match of the winding nominal currents
3. Physically, the transformer windings are connected in Delta, Wye or Zig-Zag configuration, and they introduce
a phase shift.
4. The transformer voltage ratio defines different winding nominal currents
5. The winding CTs are not rated to the exact match of the winding nominal currents
6. Physically, the transformer windings are connected in Delta or Wye configuration, and they introduce a phase
shift.
For the correct performance of the overall percent differential protection, it is necessary to correct the magnitude
and phase relationships of the CT secondary currents for each winding, in order to obtain near zero differential
currents under normal transformer operating conditions. Traditionally, the phase shift between the currents from the
transformer windings has been corrected by connecting the CTs from the Wye winding in Delta connection, and the
CTs from the Delta winding in Wye connection. In the past, the magnitude correction has been accomplished using
interposing CTs, or tapped relay windings. This however is not required any more when installing the relay.
The relay simplifies the process by performing the magnitude and phase shift compensations automatically
(internally). Upon entering settings for the protected transformer and winding CT ratings, the relay automatically
calculates and applies the correct magnitude scaling to the winding currents as well as applying the correct phase
shift in order to prepare the currents for summation. To perform the correct currents compensation, all winding CTs
need to be connected in Wye (polarity markings pointing away from the transformer).
234 1601-0320
6.10 BREAKERS
The status of each winding breaker is detected by monitoring the state of either one, or two contact inputs. We
recommend you monitor the status of the breaker using both breaker auxiliary contacts 52a, and 52b. However
using only one of them is also acceptable.
The breaker connection/disconnection to/from the power system is provided by monitoring the contact input BKR
CONNECTED. If the contact input is asserted, the breaker is considered to be connected to the primary system.
When the breaker is determined to be disconnected, the breaker state is shown to be neither open, nor closed. The
trolley is integrated with a circuit breaker (CB), which works as a Disconnect Switch. CB Trolley status based on the
contact input selected under the CONNECTED and BKR TROLLEY setpoints.
Path: Setpoints > System > Breakers

6.11 SWITCHES
The Single Line Diagram (SLD) relays can be configured with up to 9 disconnect switches. The disconnect switch
detection is performed by monitoring the state/states of either one or preferably two contact inputs 89a and 89b.
Monitoring the status of the switch using both auxiliary contacts 89a, and 89b is recommended, however using only
one of them is also possible.When both contacts are programmed, the switch can be monitored for state
discrepancy, i.e. both auxiliary contacts OFF, or both auxiliary contacts ON during operation. Discrepancy Alarm
Delay can be programmed to reflect the transition of the switch during operation from Closed to Opened, and
Opened to Closed. If no auxiliary contact discrepancy is detected after the time delay expires, the switch will be in
one of its normal states, i.e. Opened or Closed. However, if contact inputs discrepancy is detected after the time
delay expires, the relay will issue a SW1(9) Discrepancy target message and illuminate the ALARM LED. The
switch discrepancy condition can be reset by the operand assigned under Reset Alarm setpoint, providing both
contact inputs 89a and 89b show normal states on the relay.
Path: Setpoints > System > Switches > Switch 1(9)
NAME
Range: 13 alphanumeric characters
Default: SW 1
Assign a user-defined name to the disconnect switch. This name is used in the SLD, flash messages related to
disconnect switch 1, and the event recorder.
CONTACT INPUT 89a

Default: Off
Select an operand (usually NO aux. contact wired to contact input in the relay) to reflect the status of the
Disconnect Switch auxiliary contact 89a.
CONTACT INPUT 89b

Default: Off
Select an operand (usually NC auxiliary contact wired to contact input in the relay) to reflect the status of the
Disconnect Switch auxiliary contact 89b.
ALARM DELAY
Default: 2.000 s
This setting specifies the required time interval to overcome transient disagreement between the 89a and 89b
auxiliary contacts during disconnect switch operation. If transient disagreement still exists after this time has
expired, SW1(9) Discrepancy FlexLogic operand is asserted for alarm and/or blocking purposes.
RESET ALARM
Default: Off
238 1601-0320
Select an operand from the list of FlexLogic operands, which when asserted resets the Switch Discrepancy
state. Please note that resetting the discrepancy alarm will work only after no discrepancy condition exists
between the switch aux contacts 89a and 89b.
OPEN RELAY SELECT

Range: Off, Relay 1, ..., Relay X
Default: Off
This setpoints selects an output relay from the list of available output relays that is used to open the Disconnect
Switch once an open command is issued either from the front panel or remotely. This output relay is controlled
from the Switch Control menu.
CLOSE RELAY SELECT

Range: Off, Relay 1, ..., Relay X
Default: Off
This setpoint selects an output relay from the list of available output relays that is used to close the Disconnect
Switch upon issued close command from either front panel or remotely. This output relay is controlled from
Switch Control menu.
Note:
The selection of Output Relay for Open Relay Select and Close Relay Select has higher priority than other settings as follows:
If an Output Relay is first set to Operate"under a protection element for example, and then this same Output Relay is
selected under either Open Relay Select or Close Relay Select, this Output Relay is automatically reverted to Do Not
Operate and hidden from the menu of the protection element. Deselecting the Output Relay from Open Relay Select or
Close Relay Select unhides the output in the menu of the protection element showing the setting value Do Not Operate.
EVENTS
Default: Enabled
This setting disables or enables the disconnect switch operation events.

6.12 FLEXCURVES
The relay incorporates four programmable FlexCurves - FlexCurve A, B, C and D. The points for these curves are
defined in the EnerVista D&I Setup software. User-defined curves can be used for Time Overcurrent protection in
the same way as IEEE, IAC, ANSI, and IEC curves. Each of the four FlexCurves has 120-point settings for entering
times to reset and operate, 40 points for reset (from 0 to 0.98 times the Pickup value) and 80 for operate (from 1.03
to 20 times the Pickup). This data is converted into two continuous curves by linear interpolation between data
points.
Path: Setpoints > System > FlexCurves
Note:
Use EnerVista D&I Setup software to select, design or modify any of the FlexCurves.
The following table for FlexCurves A, B, C, and D details the 120 points as well as the characteristic for each of
them, and a blank cell to write the time value when the operation (for I > Ipickup) or the reset (for I < Ipickup) is
required.

0.64 0.97 2.7 4.7 9.5 19.5
0.66 0.98 2.8 4.8 10.0 20.0
The first two columns (40 points) correspond to the RESET curve. The other 4 columns, with 80 points in total,
correspond to the OPERATE curve. The reset characteristic values are between 0 and 0.98xPKP, and the operation
values are between 1.03 and 20xPKP.
The final curve is created by means of a linear interpolation from the defined points. This is a separate process for
the RESET and the OPERATE curve.
The definition of these points is performed in a separate module from the relay, using a configuration program
included in EnerVista D&I Setup software, which incorporates a graphical environment for viewing the curve, thus
making it easy to create.
Note:
The relay using a given FlexCurve applies linear approximation for times lying between the user-entered points. Therefore,
special care must be taken when setting the points close to a Pickup multiple of 1; that is, 0.97*Ipickup and 0.98*Ipickup
should be set to a similar value as 1.03*Ipickup. Otherwise, the thermal model may incorrectly estimate the TCU% level
resulting in undesired behavior.
FLEXCURVE A, B, C, D CONFIGURATION WITH EnerVista D&I Setup software
1601-0320 243
EnerVista D&I Setup software allows for easy configuration and management of FlexCurves and their associated
data points. Prospective FlexCurves can be configured from a selection of standard curves to provide the best
approximate fit, then specific data points can be edited afterwards. Alternately, curve data can be imported from a
specified file (.csv format) by selecting the Import Data From setting.
Curves and data can be exported, viewed, and cleared by clicking the appropriate buttons. FlexCurves A, B, C, and
D are customized by editing the operating time (ms) values at pre-defined per-unit current multiples. Note that the
pickup multiples start at zero (implying the “reset time”), operating time below Pickup, and operating time above
Pickup.

Figure 83: Inputs Display Hierarchy
7.2.1 CONTACT INPUTS

The relay is equipped with a number of Contact Inputs, all of which are programmable apart from the ACCESS
switch input. These digital inputs have default names to match the functions of the inputs (differential, speed,
emergency restart, remote reset and spare).However, in addition to their default settings they can also be
programmed for use as generic inputs to set up trips and alarms or for monitoring purposes based on external
contact inputs. These Contact Inputs are dry input signals, which use an internal DC voltage source.
The Contact Inputs are either open or closed with a programmable debounce time to prevent false operation from
induced voltage. The debounce time is adjustable as per manufacturer specifications.
A raw status is scanned for all Contact Inputs synchronously at the constant rate of one protection pass (1/8 cycle)
as shown in the figure below. The DC input voltage is compared to a user-settable threshold. A new Contact Input
state must be maintained for a user-configurable debounce time in order for the relay to validate the new contact
state. In the figure below, the debounce time is set at 2.5 ms; thus the 3rd sample in a row validates the change of
state (mark no. 2 in the diagram). Once validated (debounced), the new state will be declared and a FlexLogic
operand will be asserted at the time of a new protection pass. A time stamp of the first sample in the sequence that
validates the new state is used when logging the change of the Contact Input into the Event Recorder (mark no. 1 in
the diagram).
Protection and control elements, as well as FlexLogic equations and timers, are executed eight times in a power
system cycle. The protection pass duration is controlled by the frequency tracking mechanism. The FlexLogic
248 1601-0320
operand reflecting the debounced state of the contact is updated at the protection pass following the debounce
(marked no. 2 on the figure below). The update is performed at the beginning of the protection pass so all protection
and control functions, as well as FlexLogic equations, are fed with the updated states of the Contact Inputs.
The FlexLogic operand response time to the Contact Input change is related to the debounce time setting plus up to
one protection pass (variable and depending on system frequency if frequency tracking enabled). For example, 8
protection passes per cycle on a 60 Hz system correspond to a protection pass every 2.1 ms. With a contact
debounce time setting of 3.0 ms, the FlexLogic™ operand-assert time limits are: 4.2 + 0.0 = 4.2 ms and 4.2 + 2.1 =
6.3 ms. The 4.2 ms is the minimum protection pass period that contains a debounce time, 3.0 ms.
Regardless of the contact debounce time setting, the Contact Input event is time-stamped with 1 protection pass
accuracy using the time of the first scan corresponding to the new state (mark no. 1 below). Therefore, the time
stamp reflects a change in the DC voltage across the Contact Input terminals that was not accidental as it was
subsequently validated using the debounce timer. The debounce algorithm is symmetrical: the same procedure and
debounce time are used to filter the LOW-HIGH (marks no.1 and 2 in the figure below) and HIGH-LOW (marks no.
3 and 4 below) transitions.
Figure 84: Contact Input Debouncing Mechanism and Time-stamping Sample Timing
Path: Setpoints > Inputs > Contact Inputs

The Contact Inputs menu contains configuration settings for each Contact Input as well as voltage threshold for all
Contact Inputs.
NAME
Default: CI 1
1601-0320 249
An alphanumeric name may be assigned to a Contact Input for diagnostic, setting, and event recording
purposes. The CI X ON (Logic 1) FlexLogic operand corresponds to Contact Input X being closed, while CI X
OFF corresponds to Contact Input X being open. The default names of the contact inputs are matched to the
functions of the inputs (differential, speed, emergency restart, remote reset and spare). However, in addition to
their default settings they can also be programmed for use as generic inputs to set up trips and alarms or for
monitoring purposes based on external contact inputs
DEBOUNCE TIME
Range: 0.0 to 16.0 ms in steps of 0.5 ms
Default: 10.0 ms
The Debounce Time defines the time required for the contact to overcome ‘contact bouncing’ conditions. As this
time differs for different contact types and manufacturers, set it as a maximum contact debounce time (per
manufacturer specifications) plus some margin to ensure proper operation.
EVENTS
Default: Enabled
For example, to use Contact Input F1 as a status input from the breaker 52b contact, to seal-in the trip relay and
record it in the Event Records menu, make the following settings changes:
CONTACT INPUT 1 NAME: 52b
CONTACT INPUT 1 EVENTS: Enabled
Note:
The 52b contact is closed when the breaker is open and open when the breaker is closed.
7.2.2 VIRTUAL INPUTS

The relay is equipped with 64 Virtual Inputs that can be individually programmed to respond to input signals from
the keypad or from communications protocols. This has the following advantages over Contact Inputs only:
● The number of logic inputs can be increased without introducing additional hardware.
● Logic functions can be invoked from a remote location over a single communication channel.
● The same logic function can be invoked both locally via contact input or front panel keypad, and/or remotely
via communications.
● Panel switches can be replaced entirely by virtual switches to save cost and wiring.
All Virtual Input operands are defaulted to Off (logic 0) unless the appropriate input signal is received.
Path: Setpoints > Inputs > Virtual Inputs > Virtual Input
FUNCTION
Default: Disabled
If this setting is disabled, the input is OFF (logic 0) regardless of any attempt to alter the input. If enabled, the
input operates as shown on the logic diagram below, and generates output FlexLogic operands in response to
received input signals and the applied settings.
250 1601-0320
NAME
Range: Up to 13 Alphanumeric Characters
Default: VI 1
An alphanumeric name may be assigned to a Virtual Input for diagnostic, setting, and event recording purposes.
TYPE
Range: Latched, Self-reset
Default: Latched
There are two types of operation: self-reset and latched. If VIRTUAL INPUT x TYPE is “Self-Reset,” when the
input signal transits from OFF to ON the output operand will be set to ON for only one evaluation of the
FlexLogic equations, then return to OFF. If set to “Latched,” the virtual input sets the state of the output operand
to the same state as the most recent received input.
The self-reset operating mode generates the output operand for a single evaluation of the FlexLogic equations
(i.e., a pulse of one protection pass). If the operand is to be used anywhere other than internally in a FlexLogic
equation, it will likely have to be lengthened in time. A FlexLogic timer with a delayed reset time can perform this
function.

7.2.3 REMOTE INPUTS

Remote inputs provide a means of exchanging digital state information between Ethernet-networked devices
supporting IEC 61850. Remote inputs that create FlexLogic operands at the receiving relay are extracted from
GOOSE messages originating in remote devices.
Remote input 1 must be programmed to replicate the logic state of a specific signal from a specific remote device
for local use. The programming is performed by the three settings shown in the Virtual Inputs section.

7.3.1 OUTPUT RELAYS

The relay is equipped with four Form-C output relays. Each relay has normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC)
contacts and can switch up to 8 A at either 250 V AC or 30 V DC with a resistive load. The NO or NC state is
determined by the ‘no power’ state of the relay outputs.
TRIP AND CLOSE RELAYS

All four output relays may be programmed for fail-safe or non-fail-safe operation. When in fail-safe mode, output
relay activation or a loss of control power will cause the contacts to go to their power down state.
Example:
● A fail-safe NO contact closes when the relay is powered up (if no prior unreset trip conditions) and will open
when activated (tripped) or when the 859 loses control power.
● A non-fail-safe NO contact remains open when the relay is powered up (unless a prior unreset trip condition)
and will close only when activated (tripped). If control power is lost while the output relay is activated (NO
contacts closed) the NO contacts will open. These Auxiliary Relays can be energized from the menu of the
protection or control feature or from their respective menus when assigning a FlexLogic operand (trigger)
under the setpoint Aux Rly # Operate. By default, Aux Relay 1 and 2 are programmed for tripping and alarm
purposes, respectively. They are labeled Trip, Alarm, Aux 1 and Aux 2.
1601-0320 253
Depending on how an Aux. Relay is assigned, one of the following logic diagrams apply:
● If any of the auxiliary output relays are programmed under the Breaker or Contactor menu for tripping, the
operation of the output follows the Trip logic outlined in the logic diagram (Relay 1 TRIP Selected for Breaker
1 logic diagram) below.
● If any of the auxiliary output relays are programmed under Breaker or Contactor menu for closing, the
operation of the output follows the Close logic diagram (Close Selected for Breaker 1 logic diagram).
● If the auxiliary output is not programmed for tripping or closing a breaker, the operation of the output follows
the generic relay logic from logic diagram (Auxiliary relays general logic).
The Trip and Close selected auxiliary relays will follow the respective Trip and Close logic, meaning they will have
fixed operating characteristics as they depend on switching device feedback for resetting.
Any auxiliary output relay, when selected for switching device tripping or closing, is excluded from the list for
selection from the menu of all elements.
The operation of output relays selected for breaker Trip and breaker Close are breaker-controlled relays designed to
be controlled by the state of the breaker as monitored by a 52a contact, 52b contact, or both.
If the selection for TYPE setpoint is Dropoff, Trip and Close relay operation follows the logic outlined below:
● The Trip and Close relays reset after breaker is detected in a state corresponding to the command. When a
command is sent to one of these special relays, it remains operated until the requested change of the breaker
state is confirmed and the initiating condition has reset.
● If the command resets without a change of the breaker state, the output relay is reset after a default interval
of 2 seconds.
● If neither of the breaker auxiliary contacts 52a nor 52b is programmed to a logic input, the Trip Relay resets
after a default interval of 100 ms after the initiating input resets. The Close Relay is reset after 200 ms.
● The Dropoff Time setpoint is available only when the output relay is selected as Dropoff. In all other cases
the Dropoff Time setpoint is hidden and deactivated. The default setting for the Dropoff time is 100 ms.
If the selection is Latched, the relay is energized by any trip or open command and remains energized upon
element dropout. Latched auxiliary outputs can be reset with a reset command.
If Self-Reset type is selected, the output relay is energized when the corresponding element operates and it
stays energized until the element drops out.
DWELL TIMER
When the input energizing quantity is true, output is also activated at the same time instance. If the input energizing
quantity stays activated for a time period shorter than the predefined amount of time “pickup value” output stays
activated for “pickup value” time (even if the input energizing quantity is activated again in between.
If the input energizing quantity stays activated for a time period longer than the predefined amount of time “pickup
value”, output is deactivated when the input energizing quantity is deactivated.

SEAL-IN TIME (displayed only if Type=Pulsed)

Default: 0.10 s
This setting defines the time to be added to the Reset time of Relay 1 “Trip” output, thus extending its pulse
width. This is useful for those applications where the 52 contacts reporting the breaker state are faster than the
52 contacts that are responsible for interrupting the coil current.
BLOCK
Range: Disabled, Any FlexLogic operand
Default: Disabled
This setting defines a Block to the Trip output relay. When the selected input is asserted, the Trip output relay is
blocked.
OPERATE
Range: Off, On, Any FlexLogic operand
Default: Off
This setpoint provides a selection of any operand from the list of FlexLogic or communications, which can be
used to energize the Trip output relay.
When set to On, the output relay is constantly asserted (On=1).
When set to Off and no FlexLogic operand is selected, the output relay operates as set in individual protection
elements.
Note:
Setting OPERATE to On supersedes individual protection function settings.
TYPE
Range: Pickup, Dropoff, Dwell, Pulse, Pickup/Dropoff, Self-Reset, Latched
Default: Pickup
This setting defines the sequence type of the Trip output relay. The functionality is described in the Outputs
section.
OPERATION
Range: Non-Failsafe, Failsafe
Default: Non-Failsafe
Failsafe operation causes the output relay to be energized when the Trip condition signal is low and de-
energized when the same signal is high. A failsafe relay also changes state (if not already activated by an
operand driving this output relay) when control power is removed. Conversely a non-failsafe relay is de-
energized in its normal non-activated state and will not change state when control power is removed (if not
already activated by a protection element).

7.3.1.3 AUXILIARY OUTPUT RELAYS

The relay is equipped with Auxiliary Output relays. The I/O cards, and the number of auxiliary output relays are
defined at the time of relay ordering. Auxiliary Relays can be energized directly from the menu of the protection or
control feature or from their respective menus by assigning a FlexLogic operand (trigger) under the setpoint AUX
RLY # OPERATE. Changing the state of any of the Auxiliary Relays will be inhibited if the relay is in Not Ready
mode.
NAME
Default: Aux Rly #
258 1601-0320
The setpoint is used to name the auxiliary output relay by selecting up to 13 alphanumeric characters.
DROPOFF VALUE (only for F/W 4.00 and later)

Range: 0 to 14400000 in steps of 1 ms
Default: 0 ms
This setting is used to set the drop-off time delay for Dropoff, Pickup/Dropoff.
SEAL-IN TIME (displayed only if Type=Pulsed)

Default: 0.10 s
When Type = Pulsed is selected, the setpoint AUX RLY # SEAL-IN TIME is displayed in the menu for selection
of the time interval for which the output relay will remain Energized. The actual time, for which the output relay
stays energized, starts from the time of output first trigger, and ends when Output Seal-In Time expires. The
Seal-In time applies at the dropdown edge of the output relay. If during timing out of the Seal-In Time, another
pulse/pulses occur, the Seal-In Time will be reapplied to the last pulse, resulting in prolonged time for which the
output will stay energized before going to de-energized mode.
BLOCK
Range: Disabled, Any FlexLogic operand
Default: Disabled
This setting defines a block to the Auxiliary output relay. When the selected input is asserted, the Aux relay is
blocked.
OPERATE
Default: Off
This setpoint provides a selection of any operand from the list of FlexLogic or communications, which can be
used to energize the auxiliary output relay.
When set to On, the output relay is constantly asserted (On=1).
When set to Off and no FlexLogic operand is selected, the output relay operates as set in individual protection
elements.
Note:
Setting OPERATE to On supersedes individual protection function settings.
TYPE
Range: Self-Reset, Latched, Pulsed
Default: Pulsed
If Self-Reset is selected, the output relay is energized as long as the element is in operating mode, and
resets when the element drops out. If Latched is selected, the output relay stays energized upon element
dropout. The latched auxiliary outputs can be reset by issuing a reset command. For Pulse selection, see SEAL-
IN TIME (displayed only if Type = Pulsed).
1601-0320 259
OPERATION
Range: Non-Failsafe, Failsafe
Default: Non-Failsafe
Failsafe operation causes the output relay to be energized when the operand assigned to the OPERATE AUX
RLY # setting is low and de-energized when the same operand is high. A failsafe relay also changes state (if not
already activated by an operand driving this output relay) when control power is removed. Conversely, a non-
failsafe relay is de-energized in its normal non-activated state and will not change state when control power is
removed from the(if not already activated by a protection element).

7.3.3 ANALOG OUTPUTS

Depending on the order code, the relay supports one optional DC analog card. The Analog card has 4 analog inputs
and 7 analog outputs.There are three Analog Output channel scenarios for analog minimum and maximum output
range shown in the figure below. Type A characteristics apply when the minimum range is 0 and the maximum
range is a positive (+ve) value. Type B characteristics apply when the minimum and maximum ranges are definitely
positive (+ve) values. Type C characteristics apply when the minimum range is a negative (-ve) and the maximum
range is a positive (+ve) value. The following diagram illustrates these characteristics.

8.2.1 GENERATOR ELEMENTS OVERVIEW

The relay provides the following protection elements:
● Percent Differential
● Overall Percent Differential
● Generator unbalance
● Inadvertent Energization
● Los of Excitation
● 3rd Harmonic Neutral Undervoltage
● 3rd Harmonic Voltage Difference
● Offline Overcurrent
● Overload Alarm
●
8.2.1.1 PERCENT DIFFERENTIAL

The relay provides one Percent Differential element per protection group using an internal summation method
(described below). It is intended for use on the stator windings of the rotating machinery. This element is available
only if the second AC analog input card with the K1-CT bank is properly installed in slot K.
For wiring options, please refer to Installation / Electrical installation / Differential CT inputs chapter of the manual.
270 1601-0320
For internal summation percent differential, we recommend that the terminal side CTs and neutral side CTs have the
same ratios. The maximum allowable ratio mismatch is 10:1. In the case of a mismatch, the relay scales the
currents to the primary of the CT with the higher primary value which is used as the CT reference for the percent
differential element.
Internal summation operates on a per phase basis (phase-segregated). The key variables used in the element are
the Restraining current (Ir) and the Differential current (Id). The way they are calculated depends on the used
differential method as follows:
Internal Summation Method
For internal summation method, differential current Id and restraint current Ir are defined below:
Id = |Its - Ins|
Ir = MAX{|Its|, |Ins|}
Where: Its is the current phasor of the terminal side CTs (J1-CT bank), in per unit normalized to the reference CT
nominal; Ins is the current phasor of the neutral side CTs (K1-CT bank), in per unit normalized to the reference CT
nominal; They are calculated based on the following equations:
Its = (Its_sec_amp)(CTts_pri_rating)/(Cts_sec_rating)(CTref_pri-rating)
Ins = (Ins_sec_amp)(CTns_pri_rating)/(Cns_sec_rating)(CTref_pri-rating)
Where:
● Its_sec_amp = the terminal side CT current phasor in secondary amps
● Ins_sec_amp = the neutral side CT current phasor in secondary amps
● CTts_sec_rating = the terminal side CT secondary current rating
● CTns_sec_rating = the neutral side CT secondary current rating
● CTts_pri_rating = the terminal side CT primary current rating
● CTns_pri_rating = the neutral side CT primary current rating
● CTref_pri_rating = the reference CT primary current rating
● The reference CT is the CT with the maximum primary current rating
The Percent Differential element with the internal summation method selected uses dual slope dual break point
differential/restraint characteristic. The main purpose of the percent-slope characteristic is to prevent misoperation
caused by unbalances between CTs during external faults. CT unbalances arise as a result of the following factors:
● CT accuracy errors
● CT saturation
The characteristic allows for very sensitive settings when fault current is low and less sensitive settings when fault
current is high and CT performance may produce incorrect operate signals. The dual slope characteristic is shown
in the following figure.
1601-0320 271
Figure 94: Percent Differential Characteristic
The horizontal axes value of the percent differential characteristic is the Restraining current (Ir) and the vertical axes
value is the Differential current (Id).
Each pair of measured restraining and differential currents represents a point on the previous figure: Percent
Differential Characteristic. If this point is located above the limit line (area labeled “Operate”), then the differential
flag is set (DIF=1). If the point is located below or on the limit line (area labeled “Block”), then the differential flag is
reset (DIF=0).

272 1601-0320
PICKUP
Range: 0.05 to 1.00 x CT in steps of 0.01
Default: 0.20
This setting defines the minimum differential current required for operation. The setting is based on the amount
of differential current that can be seen under normal operating conditions. A setting of 0.1 to 0.3 pu is generally
recommended. The CT base of the setting is the reference CT nominal (the CT with the maximum primary
current rating).
SLOPE 1
Range: 1 to 100% in steps of 1
Default: 25%
The setting is applicable for restraint currents from zero to BREAK 1, and defines the ratio of differential to
restraint current above which the element operates. The slope is set to ensure sensitivity to internal faults at
normal operating current levels. The criterion for setting this slope is to allow for maximum expected CT
mismatch error when operating at the maximum permitted current. This maximum error is generally in the range
of 5 to 10% of CT rating.
BREAK 1
Default: 1.50
The setting defines the end of the Slope 1 region and the start of the transition region. It should be set just above
the maximum normal operating current level of the machine.
BREAK 2
Default: 4.00
The setting defines the end of the transition region and the start of the SLOPE 2 region. It must be set to the
level at which any of the protection CTs are expected to begin to saturate. To avoid discontinuity in the cubic
spline calculation, the relay applies a minimum margin of 0.3 CT between BREAK 1 and BREAK 2.
SLOPE 2
Default: 95%
The setting is applicable for restraint currents above the BREAK 2 setting. The slope is set to ensure stability
under heavy external fault conditions that could lead to high differential currents as a result of CT saturation. A
setting of 80 to 100% is recommended. The transition region (as shown on the percent differential characteristic)
is a cubic spline, automatically calculated by the relay to result in a smooth transition between SLOPE 1 and
SLOPE 2 with no discontinuities.

This setting defines the pickup time delay of the percent differential element.

DC Saturation Detection:
D.C. components of both J1-CT and K1-CT bank currents, in phases A, B and C must be first calculated.
In other words, the d.c. component is an absolute value of the average of current samples over one last cycle of
data.
DCph = (Idcts > D1 x |Its|) AND (|Its| > PFP)
Operation 2 (Eq. 6) is performed three times for each phase separately.
DCns = (Idcns > D1 x |Ins|) AND (|Ins| > PFP)
D1 is a factory constant of 1/2. A new component of the saturation condition is derived as in the figure below:
274 1601-0320
Saturation Detection
External faults near rotating machines typically result in very large time constants of DC components in the fault
currents. Also, when energizing a step-up transformer, the inrush current being limited only by the machine
impedance can be significant and can last for a very long time. In order to provide additional security against
misoperations during these events, the relay incorporates saturation detection logic. When saturation is detected
the element makes an additional check on the angle between the terminal side CT and differential CT currents. If
this angle indicates an internal fault then tripping is permitted. The latter applies only when the Internal summation
method is used.
The saturation detector is implemented as a state machine (see next figure). "NORMAL" is the initial state of the
machine. When in "NORMAL" state, the saturation flag is not set (SAT = 0). The algorithm calculates the saturation
condition, SC. If SC = 1 while the state machine is "NORMAL", the saturation detector goes into the "EXTERNAL
FAULT" state and sets the saturation flag (SAT = 1). The algorithm returns to the "NORMAL" state if the differential
current is below the first slope, S1, for more than 200 ms. When in the "EXTERNAL FAULT" state, the algorithm
goes into the "EXTERNAL FAULT & CT SATURATION" state if the differential flag is set (DIF = 1). When in the
"EXTERNAL FAULT & CT SATURATION" state, the algorithm keeps the saturation flag set (SAT = 1). The state
machine returns to the "EXTERNAL FAULT" state if the differential flag is reset (DIF = 0) for 100 ms.
1601-0320 275
There are three SAT flags (one per phase). The corresponding FlexLogic operands are:
● Percent Diff Sat A
● Percent Diff Sat B
● Percent Diff Sat C
Figure 95: Saturation detection state machine
Phase comparison principle

The test for direction can be summarized by the following equation:
If (|Its| > B1 or (|Its| > K x Ir and |Its| > PKP)) and (|Ins| > B1 or (|Ins| > K x Ir and |Ins| > PKP))
Then DIR = abs ( <Its - <Ins ) > 90°
Else DIR = 1
where:
● Ir = restraining current
● DIR = flag indicating that the phase comparison principle is satisfied,
● B1 = breakpoint 1 setting,
● Its, Ins = current phasor at the terminal and neutral side banks, respectively
● K = factory constant of 0.25
276 1601-0320
There are three DIR flags (one per phase). The corresponding FlexLogic operands are:
● Percent Diff Dir A
● Percent Diff Dir B
● Percent Diff Dir C
Note:
1601-0320 277
That the above CT saturation (SAT) and phase direction (DIR) checking are applicable to internal summation method only. If
the Core balance method is selected, neither SAT nor DIR check is performed, the fixed values SAT=0 and DIR = 1 are used.

8.2.1.2 OVERALL PERCENT DIFFERENTIAL

The relay provides one Overall Percent Differential element per setpoint group. The setpoints from the protection
menu define a dual slope, dual breakpoint differential/restraint characteristic. The filtering and calculation of
transformer differential and restraint currents, and differential current 2nd and 5th harmonics are as shown in the
following figure.
278 1601-0320
Note:
An 889 with the specific order code option, K-R1/R5 is required for the Overall Percentage Differential. An 889 with the K-
R1/R5 option supports 3-CT banks, 1 VT bank and an additional second breaker control.
Note:
The K2 CT bank is connected to Winding 1, which is the High-Voltage winding of the GSU connected to the system. In
contrast, the K1 CT bank is connected at the neutral side of the generator, and must be configured as Winding 2 (K1).
1601-0320 279
Figure 97: Filtering and Calculation of differential and restraint currents
280 1601-0320
The relay continuously calculates per-phase differential and restraint currents, and compares the ratio between the
two values with a user pre-defined differential/restraint characteristic. The purpose of the characteristic is to define
the zone of differential protection operation and the zone of no operation. The differential characteristic provides
setpoints for sensitivity, dependability, and security for all types of faults, and is programmed by the user to reflect a
variety of transformer differential protection applications.
The differential current is calculated per-phase as a vector sum of the currents from all windings after magnitude
and angle compensation.
The restraint current is calculated as a maximum of the same internally compensated currents:
Note:
Refer to the Transformer Setup chapter for the winding currents magnitude and phase shift compensations performed by the
relay.

Figure 98: Differential/Restraint Characteristic for main transformer
The above figure shows the differential/restraint characteristic of the main transformer percent differential protection.
The decision for operation or no operation is complemented by detection of CT saturation, followed by currents
directional check. The saturation flag (SAT) can only be initiated during an external fault, providing the magnitude of
any of the restraints is bigger than a threshold average using the Break1 and Break 2 setting programmed in the
menu. While at the same time, the differential/restraint ratio is below a slope average calculated based on Slope 1
and Slope 2 settings. The directional flag is not checked unless the SAT flag is initiated. Normally during internal
faults, the trajectory of the differential/restraint ratio does not cross the average calculated breakpoint threshold, in
which case the directional flag is not checked. The directional flag is checked during external faults (SAT flag
triggered), where due to saturation, the differential/restraint trajectory is able to enter the operating region. Usually
the angle between the currents during external fault and CT saturation remains bigger than 90 degrees, in which
case the percent differential protection does not operate. However, while in the operating region, the protection
1601-0320 281
would operate, on evolving faults (external to internal fault), as the directional flag would be high (angle less than 90
degrees).
Recommendations for configuring the Differential/Restraint characteristic

The following setpoints define the differential/restraint characteristic:
Minimum Pickup
This setpoint is expressed in x CT of Winding 1. The minimum pickup defines the minimum differential current
required for operation. The pickup setting must be higher than the amount of differential current that is seen under
282 1601-0320
normal transformer loading conditions, and must be higher than the maximum differential current that is seen during
transformer tap changer operation.
For example, for a 20MVA, 25MVA, or 28MVA power transformer with a 138kV/4.16kV ratio, and class C current
transformers CT(w1) 200:5, and CT(w2) 3000:5, the CT errors and the minimum pickup setting is calculated as
follows:
Winding 1 (138kV) CT – reference. Magnitude factor: M(w1) = 1
Winding 2(4.16kV) CT – non reference. Magnitude factor: M(w2) = 4.16 *3000/138*200 = 0.4521
Based on emergency MVA rating:
Winding 1 rated current = 28MVA/(138kV*sqrt(3)) = 117 Amps
Winding 2 rated current =28MVA/(4.16*sqrt(3)) = 3890 Amps
The accuracy of the Class C current transformer is defined in the IEEE standard C37.110 as not exceeding 10% for
symmetrical current magnitudes of up to 20 times the rating for a standard burden resistance:
117Amps *10% = 11.7 Amps = > 11.7/200 = 0.0585 xCT(w1)
3890 Amps *10% = 389 Amps = > 389/3000*M(w2) = 389/3000*0.4521 =0.0585 xCT (w1)
In the worst case, the errors from the two CTs as expressed in xCT(w1) as a reference can be summed:
Minimum Pickup = 0.0585 + 0.0585 = 0.117 (0.2xCT setting for Pickup is sufficient)
Slope 1
This setting defines the desired differential/restraint ratio for detecting internal faults. The percent Slope 1 setting
must be above the differential/restraint ratio duringexternal faults with non-significant fault current magnitude, but
with long lasting DC component, which is able to cause CT saturation.
The Slope 1 setting can be calculated based on the restraint current during emergency loading of the transformer:
Restraint current Winding 1 = 117 Amps/200 = 0.585 xCT
Restraint current Winding 2 (scaled) = 3890/3000*0.4521 = 0.585 xCT
Differential current = CT error = 0.117 xCT
Slope 1 = (0.117/0.585)*100 = 20%
Adding 5% margin, produces a Slope 1 setting of 25%
Slope 2
The Slope 2 setting ensures stability during heavy through fault conditions, where CT saturation results in high
differential current. Slope 2 must be set high enough to cope with the worst case when the CTs from one winding
saturate but the CTs from the other winding do not saturate during external fault. In such case the ratio of the
differential to restraint current can be as high as 95 to 98%.
Break 1
Break 1 must be set to reflect the through current (restraint current) expressed in times winding 1 CT (w1) below
which CT saturation due to DC components and/or residual magnetism is not expected. The latter may be as high
as 80% of the nominal flux, effectively reducing the CT capabilities by factor of 5.
1601-0320 283
Therefore, this setting must correspond to the end of the linear operation of the CT with the worst characteristic,
counting up to 80% remnant flux in the CT core. To calculate this setting, CTs knee-point voltage and CT secondary
burden are needed.
where:
● The CT burden resistance Rb = 2(Rlead + RCTsec + Rrelay)
● CT secondary resistance = RCTsec,
● Conductor resistance = Rlead and the
● Relay input resistance = Rrelay.
● ICTsec is the CT secondary nominal current.
● Vsat is the CT knee-point voltage.
The Break 1 is calculated per the formula above for each winding CT, and then the smallest per value is entered as
a setting.
Break 2
The Break 2 setting defines the beginning of Slope 2 used to provide stability during heavy through fault conditions,
where CT saturation results in high differential current. Break 2 must be set to the through-fault current which
causes the worst CT to saturate, with saturation free time of at least half power cycle.
To define the degree of CT saturation, the IEEE CT saturation tool can be used:
For example, let
● the CT 3000:5 on winding 2 be the worst one which would saturate first during external faults
● the maximum external fault current be 25kA, with an X/R ratio of 15
The CT voltage kneepoint from the saturation characteristic is 300 V, with winding resistance of 0.5 Ohms, Burden
resistance of 2.19 Ohms, and Burden reactance of 0.01 Ohms.
284 1601-0320
The waveform shows that during this external bolted fault with maximum fault current of 25 kA, the CT (3000:5) will
saturate severely, and produce only a ¼ of a cycle saturation free time. Break 2 must be set to a through fault
current so that the CT (3000:5) produces at least ½ cycle saturation free time. The solution isto change the fault
current to 15000 kA. The waveform now shows a bigger part of the first cycle before saturation.
1601-0320 285
The fault current of 15000 Amps would then be translated as 15000/3000 = 5 times winding 2 CT. Bringing this to
the same scale with respect to winding 1 CT reference , i.e. multiplying by a magnitude of 0.4521, the Break 2
setting would be:
Break 2 = 5 *0.4521 = 2.21 xCT (w1)

FUNCTION
Default: Disabled
1601-0320 287
The selection of Trip or Configurable enables the Percent Phase Differential function. The trip output relays
selected to trip each breaker will operate, if the Percent Differential protection operates and these trip outputs
are selected in the Percent Differential menu as Operate.
PICKUP
Default: 0.20 x CT
This setting defines the minimum differential current required for operation. The setting is selected based on the
amount of differential current that might be seen under normal conditions. This differential current is a result of
the transformer magnetizing current, CT inaccuracies, and transformer ratio that would change by the
transformer on-load tap changer. When the tap changer feature is set properly, the relay compensates the
transformation ratio which impacts the differential protection automatically.
SLOPE 1
Default: 25%
This setting is applicable for restraint currents (through currents) of zero to kneepoint 1, and defines the ratio of
differential/restraint currents, above which the element will operate. This slope is set to ensure sensitivity on
internal faults at normal transformer loading. The value of slope 1 must be above the maximum differential
currents which may be seen for through currents with magnitudes less than break 1 setting. The differential
currents can be caused by winding CT inaccuracies, the constant transformer magnetizing current, and the
leakage current from in-zone grounding transformers. Usually a margin of 2% to 5% is added to this setting.
BREAK 1
Range: 0.50 to 2.00 x CT in steps of 0.01 x CT
Default: 1.50 x CT
The setting defines the limit of linear operation of the magnitude reference CT, accounting for up to 80% residual
flux, that effectively reduces the capability of the CT by a factor of 5. BREAK 1 must be set below the current
that can cause CT saturation due to DC components and/or residual magnetism. Very often the BREAK 1
setting is based on the transformer winding 1 nominal current (100% transformer loading). In such cases, one
must check whether or not this setting complies with the above recommendation regarding the CT linear
performance. This breakpoint marks the end of slope 1, where no CT saturation is expected for restraining
(through) currents smaller than that breakpoint.
BREAK 2
Default: 4.00 x CT
Break 2 must be set below the fault current that is most likely to saturate any of the transformer CTs due to an
AC component alone. The setting is expressed in times CT, where the CT rating is the magnitude reference CT
either user selected, or selected automatically.
SLOPE 2
Range: 1% to 100% in steps of 1%
Default: 95%
288 1601-0320
This setting ensures stability during through fault conditions, resulting in CT saturation and spurious high
differential current. SLOPE 2 must be set high to cater for the worst case scenario, where only CTs from one
winding saturate, but the CTs from the other winding(s) do not saturate. In such cases the differential/restraint
ratio can go as high as 95% to 98%.
Note:
Setting SLOPE 1 higher than SLOPE 2 must be avoided, as it is not practical, even though the ranges for both slopes can
allow for one to do so. Correct programming of the differential-restraint characteristic is achieved when SLOPE 1 is used for
sensitivity of operation during internal fault in the range of 15% to 35%, and SLOPE 2 set usually from 80% to 98%, is used to
provide secure area for the diff./restr. trajectory during external faults and CT saturation.
PICKUP DELAY
Range: 0.000 to 10.000 in steps of 0.001 s
Default: 0.000 s
This setting defines the pickup time delay of the percent differential element.
INRUSH INHIBIT
Range: Disabled, 2nd Harm Block
Default: 2nd Harm Block
This setting enables or disables the inrush inhibit function. None of the settings for inrush inhibit are active, when
the function is set to “Disabled”.
INRUSH INHIBIT LEVEL

Range: 1.0% to 40.0% in steps of 0.1%
Default: 20.0%
This setting specifies the ratio of the 2nd harmonic differential current to the fundamental frequency differential
current for the selected mode of the 2nd harmonic inhibit. The percent differential protection will be blocked from
operation if the actual ratio of the differential 2nd harmonic current to the fundamental frequency differential
current is above this threshold.
INRUSH INHIBIT MODE

Range: Per Phase, Average, 2-out-of-3, 1-out-of-3
Default: Per Phase
This setting specifies the mode of blocking during transformer magnetizing (inrush) conditions.
If set to Per phase, the function performs inrush inhibit per each phase individually.
If set to “Average”, the relay calculates the average 2nd harmonic level and compares this level against the
setting for inrush inhibit level. Averaging of the 2nd harmonics follows an adaptive algorithm depending on per-
phase magnitude of the fundamental frequency differential current. If the differential current on any of the three
phases goes below the differential current cut-off level of 0.04 x CT, the 2nd harmonic current from that phase is
dropped (zeroed) from the equation for averaging, and the divider is decreased from 3 to 2. The same happens
if the magnitude of the differential current on one of two remaining phases during this same energization drops
below the cut-off level. In this case the 2nd harmonic on this phase will be dropped from summation, and the
divider will be decreased to 1.
1601-0320 289
If set to 2-out-of-3, the relay estimates the 2nd harmonic differential current per-phase, and blocks the
differential protection for all three phases, if the 2nd harmonic content from any two phases is higher than the
2nd harmonic value entered in the setpoint inrush inhibit level.
If set to 1-out-of-3, the relay estimates the 2nd harmonic differential current per-phase, and blocks the
differential protection for all three phases, if the 2nd harmonic content from any phase is higher than the 2nd
harmonic value entered in the setpoint “inrush inhibit level”. This method is also known as the cross-blocking
method.
OVEREXCITATION INHIBIT
Range: Disabled, 5th Harmonic
Default: 5th Harmonic
This setting provides 5th harmonic differential protection blocking during an over excitation condition resulting
from an increased V/Hz ratio.
An overexcitation condition resulting from an increased V/Hz ratio poses a danger to the protected transformer.
A given transformer can tolerate an overfluxing condition for a limited time, as the danger is associated with
thermal processes in the core. Instantaneous tripping of the transformer from the differential protection is not
desirable.
The relay uses a traditional 5th harmonic ratio for inhibiting the differential function during overexcitation
conditions.
OVEREXCITATION LEVEL
Default: 10.0%
This setting specifies the level of 5th harmonic during overexcitation (overfluxing) transformer conditions. When
the 5th harmonic level exceeds the specified OVEREXCITATION LEVEL setting (5th harmonic ratio) the
differential element is blocked. The overexcitation inhibit works on a per-phase basis.
BLOCK
Default: Off
RELAYS
Range: Do Not Operate, Operate
Any, or all of the output relays can be selected to operate, upon percent differential operation.
The relay provides one instantaneous differential element per setpoint group.
The Instantaneous differential protection is not biased protection and operates similar to the instantaneous
overcurrent protection. Inputs to this protection are computed by the relay per-phase differential currents.
Operation occurs if any of the computed phase differential current is above the instantaneous differential pickup
290 1601-0320
setting. The instantaneous differential protection is usually set to operate during high fault currents, and if used,
its pickup must be set according to the following criteria:
The○PICKUP setting (xCT) must be selected higher than the maximum inrush current during transformer
energization.
The○PICKUP setting must be set higher than the differential current caused CT saturation during faults
outside the zone of protection.
The○PICKUP setting must be selected lower than the maximum fault current during internal faults.
INSTANTANEOUS DIFF FUNCTION

Default: Disabled
INST DIFF PICKUP

Default: 10.00 x CT
This setting defines the pickup level of the differential current required for operation.
INST DIFF BLOCK

INST DIFF OUTPUT RELAYS

The menu includes a list of available output relays to be set for operation or no operation upon protection
operation.
Note:
The output relays selected under the Breaker menu for breaker trip need to be reselected if the Percent Differential function is
set to Trip. These output relays will not be operational even if selected to operate if the Percent Differential function is set to
Configurable.

8.2.1.3 GENERATOR UNBALANCE (46)

Rotor heating in generators may occur due to unbalance (negative sequence) current. Generators have very
specific limits where unbalanced current is concerned (Refer ANSI C50.13).
The generator unbalance element has an inverse time overcurrent curve which is typically used for tripping and a
definite time overcurrent curve typically used for alarm purposes to protect the generator rotor from overheating due
to the presence of negative sequence currents.
292 1601-0320
The inverse time stage operating characteristic is defined by the following equation:
where:
● I2 = negative sequence current
● FLA is the generator rated full load current
● K = negative sequence capability constant from the generator manufacturer depending on size and design
● T = time in seconds when I2 > pickup (minimum 250 ms, maximum defined by setpoint)
Note:
Unusually high negative sequence current levels may be caused by incorrect phase CT wiring.
Path: Setpoints > Protection > Group 1(6) > Generator > Generator Unbalance
SIGNAL INPUT
Range: CT Bank 1-J1, CT Bank 2-K1
This setting provides the selection for the 3-Phase CT bank inputs. This setting allows applying this element
either on terminal side or neutral side of the Generator.
TRIP FUNCTION
Default: Disabled
This setting enables the Generator Unbalance Trip functionality. When the Trip function is selected and the
element operates, output relay #1 "Trip" operates but the "ALARM" LED does not turn on.
When the Configurable function is selected, neither the Trip output, nor the ALARM LED turns on automatically.
They must be configured using their own menus and FlexLogicTM operands.
TRIP PICKUP
Range: 0.00 to 100.00 % FLA in steps of 0.01
Default: 8.00 % FLA
This setting defines the pickup value of the trip element. Pickup value is given in negative sequence current as
percentage of generator rated full load current.
Note:
This setting should be greater than the corresponding setting for the alarm stage.
1601-0320 293
CONSTANT K
Default: 1.00
This setting is the negative sequence capability constant. This value is normally provided by the generator
manufacturer (see ANSI C50.13) depending on size and design.
MAXIMUM TIME
Default: 600 s
The negative sequence overcurrent Maximum Time setting defines the maximum time that any value of
negative sequence current in excess of the pickup value is allowed to persist before a trip is issued. This setting
can be applied to limit the maximum tripping time for low level unbalances.
Note:
Small power system transients or switching device operation can generate spurious negative sequence current that can result
in the false operation of the Current Unbalance element. In order to prevent false operation of the element, minimum time is
set to a fixed value of 250 ms.
RESET TIME
Default: 227.00 s
This setting defines the linear reset time of the trip element time accumulator. It is the maximum reset time from
the threshold of tripping based on the generator unbalance inverse curve. The reset time has an accumulator/
integrator to represent the thermal memory counter which increments linearly if generator unbalance current is
above threshold, and decrements linearly if it below threshold. The "Unbal DPO" operand is set to high when
thermal memory counter resets to zero.
TRIP OUTPUT RELAY

Any assignable output relay can be selected to operate upon the generator unbalance operation. The operation
of these general relays is programmed by the user. Each relay can be selected to become either energized or
de-energized when operated, and to operate as latched, self-resetting or pulsed.
ALARM FUNCTION
Range: Disabled, Alarm, Latched Alarm
Default: Disabled
This setting enables the generator unbalance Alarm functionality.
When the Alarm function is selected and the element operates, the "ALARM" LED flashes; it self-resets when
the operating conditions are cleared.
When the Latched Alarm function is selected and the element operates, the "ALARM" LED flashes during the
operating condition, and is steadily lit after the conditions are cleared. The "ALARM" LED can be cleared by
294 1601-0320
issuing a Reset command. Output relay #1 "Trip" will not operate if the Alarm or Latched Alarm setting is
selected.
ALARM PICKUP
Range: 0.00 to 100.00 % FLA in steps of 0.01
Default: 3.00 % FLA
This setting specifies a pickup for the alarm function. The definite time overcurrent curve would normally be used
to generate an alarm to prompt an operator to take some corrective action. This element would typically be set at
a safe margin below the trip pickup setting.
ALARM DELAY
Default: 0.50 s
This setting specifies a time delay for the alarm function. This is the minimum operate time of the alarm element.
This is set to prevent nuisance alarms during system faults.
ALARM OUTPUT RELAY

Any assignable output relay can be selected to operate upon generator unbalance operation. The operation of
these general relays is programmed by the user. Each relay can be selected to become either energized or de-
energized when operated, and to operate as latched, self-resetting or pulsed.

This element provides protection against inadvertent energization also known as accidental energization. The
Inadvertent Energization feature may be armed when all of the phase voltages fall below the undervoltage pickup
level and/or the unit is offline. When the feature is armed, if any one of the phase currents measured at the output

Protection can be provided for poor synchronization by using the U/V or Offline arming signal. During normal
synchronization, there should be relatively low current measured. If however, synchronization is attempted when
conditions are not appropriate, a large current that is measured within 250 ms after the generator is placed online
would result in an operate.
Note:
This feature requires 5 s to arm, and 250 ms to disarm.

8.2.1.5 LOSS OF EXCITATION (40)

Typically, a synchronous machine has an excitation system, which supplies DC (Direct Current) to energize the
rotor/field winding. This excitation to the machine rotor may be completely or partially lost due to various abnormal
conditions, such as field circuit open or short, loss of supply to the excitation system, or unintentional trip of a field
breaker and so on. Due to loss of excitation, the synchronous machine may act as an induction machine, which
may cause the machine to over-speed (above synchronous speed) and also draw reactive power (Var) from the
system. Therefore, Loss Of Excitation (LOE) protection is applied to protect synchronous machines from over-
speeding, as well as to recover systems from voltage collapse.
Figure 105: Loss of excitation Characteristic
Loss of excitation protection is achieved using positive sequence impedance measurements (from voltage and
currents), and two inverted offset (Mho) circles, as shown. User configurable Under-Voltage (UV) supervision and
sufficient positive sequence current (>0.05 x CT) are applied for additional protection of this element. Each
individual circle characteristic can be applied independently. In the case where a circle element is enabled and the
measured positive sequence impedance falls within this circle, the element operates with the corresponding time
delay setting. Further, a 20 ms reset delay is applied to the element logic which enhances protection dependability,
especially when measured impedance jitters around a circle boundary.
300 1601-0320
Note:
All impedance (in ohms) settings refer to the relay side impedance quantity, i.e. the CT/VT secondary side when looking into
the machine. Although the setting values are in positive ohms, this protection function is looking in to the generator, and
hence the circle characteristics are shown inverted/reversed.
Base impedance should be calculated on secondary side.
The following is the guideline used to derive the setting of this element.
Note:
The IEEE C37.102-2006 (IEEE guide for AC Generator Protection) provides typical practices to set this element
The inner circle (Circle 1) diameter is set to machine base impedance (i.e. 1 pu), which considers the loss of field
during full loading to medium loading of the machine. An offset is one half of the direct axis transient reactance (X'd)
- both impedances referring to the relay side. The corresponding time delay for the inner circle needs to be higher
than the worst case power swing scenario, and hence this value is determined from stability studies (typically, this
value may be in the range of 0.2 s to 0.5 s).
On the other hand, the outer circle (e.g. Circle 2) diameter is set to the synchronous reactance of the machine (Xd)
and an offset equal to one half of the direct axis transient reactance (X'd) - both impedances referring to the relay
side. This allows the machine to be protected during light load conditions or with reduced field excitation. The
corresponding time delay for the outer circle should be high enough to prevent mis-operations due to power swings,
and hence this value is determined from stability studies (typically, this value may be in the range of 0.5 s to 2 s).

8.2.1.6 THIRD HARMONIC NEUTRAL UNDERVOLTAGE (27TN)

The Third Harmonic Neutral Undervoltage element detects a loss of third harmonic voltage at the generator neutral.
The percentage of stator winding covered by this function depends on the pickup setting and the amount of third
harmonic generated by the machine at the time of the fault. A settable window of forward real power can supervise
this element for enhanced security. The element is also supervised by positive sequence voltage measured at the
generator output terminals. This element can be used with either wye or delta connected VTs on the terminal side
and requires that the machine neutral voltage is connected via an auxiliary voltage channel of the relay Ax VT Bnk1-
J2 bank input.

This element responds to third harmonic voltage measured at the generator neutral and output terminals. When
used in conjunction with the neutral overvoltage (fundamental frequency) element, it provides 100% ground fault

protection of the stator windings. Since the amount of third harmonic voltage that appears in the neutral is both load

Example 1: Operating quantities under normal conditions

Consider the next figure shown. In the case of a high impedance grounded machine, the neutral resistor is typically
chosen such that power dissipated in the resistor during a single line to ground fault is approximately equal to the
reactive power produced by the zero sequence capacitance of the stator winding and the generator step-up low
voltage winding (Xoc). At power system frequencies (Fn), the neutral resistance is therefore equal to Xoc / 3, and at
3 x Fn, the neutral resistance is Xoc.For analysis, assume that E3 = 10 V, R = 5Ω, and Xc = 5Ω.

We have the magnitude of neutral voltage VN as:
and the magnitude of the neutral and zero-sequence voltages |VN + V0| as:
1601-0320 311
Therefore, under the normal conditions described above, we set the operating quantities as follows:
In actual practice, the |VN| / |VN + V0| ratio may vary from 0.4 to 0.85 under normal conditions. The pickup and
supervision setpoints are determined by evaluating the operating quantities during a fault condition (refer to
example 2 for details).
Example 2: Operating quantities for a fault at a fraction k from the neutral grounding point.
For analysis, consider the above figure and assume that E3 = 10 V, R = 5Ω, Xc = 5Ω, and k = 0.15.In this case, we

time-current characteristics of these elements is identical in all cases and is only covered in this section. The
required curve is established by programming a Pickup Current, Curve Shape, Curve Multiplier, and Reset Time.
The Curve Shape can be either a standard shape or a user-defined shape programmed with the FlexCurve feature.

8.2.2.1 INVERSE TIME OVERCURRENT CURVES

The Inverse Time Overcurrent Curves used by the Time Overcurrent elements are the IEEE, IEC, GE Type IAC,
ANSI, I2t and I4t standard curve shapes. This allows for simplified coordination with downstream devices.
If none of these curve shapes are adequate, FlexCurves may be used to customize the inverse time curve
characteristics. The definite time curve is also an option that may be appropriate if only simple protection is
required.

A time dial multiplier setting allows the selection of a multiple of the base curve shape (where the time dial multiplier
= 1) with the curve shape setting. Unlike the electromechanical time dial equivalent, operate times are directly
proportional to the time multiplier (TD MULTIPLIER) setting value. For example, all times for a multiplier of 10 are
10 times the multiplier 1 or base curve values. Setting the multiplier to zero results in an instantaneous response to
all current levels above Pickup.
Time Overcurrent time calculations are made with an internal energy capacity memory variable. When this variable
indicates that the energy capacity has reached 100%, a Time Overcurrent element will operate. If less than 100%
energy capacity is accumulated in this variable and the current falls below the dropout threshold of 97 to 98% of the
Pickup value, the variable must be reduced.
Two types of this resetting operation are available: DT and Inverse. The Inverse selection can be used where
the relay must coordinate with electromechanical relays. The DT selection is intended for applications with other
relays, such as most static relays, which set the energy capacity directly to zero or some fixed time delay when the
current falls below the reset threshold or when inverse curve coordination is not available.
Note:
In IEEE, ANSI, IAC, I2T, I4T User Curves, multiplier setting TDM value is provided by the Time Dial setting
IEEE CURVES
The IEEE Time Overcurrent curve shapes conform to industry standards and the IEEE C37.112-1996 curve
classifications for extremely, very, and moderately inverse. The IEEE curves are derived from the formula:
1601-0320 319
Where:
● T = operate time (in seconds)
● TDM = Multiplier setting
● I = input current
● Ipickup = Pickup Current setting
● A, B, p = constants
● TRESET = reset time in seconds (assuming energy capacity is 100% and RESET is Timed)
● tr = characteristic constant

RI (RAPID INVERSE) CHARACTERISTIC

The RI operate curve is represented by the following equation
where:
● T is the operating time
● k(RI) is the Time Multiplier setting.
● I = input current,

IDG CURVE
The IDG curve is commonly used for time delayed neutral/ground fault protection in the Swedish market. The IDG
curve is represented by the following equation:
T = 5.8 - 1.35 x loge (I/Ipickup)
where:
● T is the operating time
● Ipickup = Pickup Current setting.
The IDG Is setting is set as a multiple of the Ground/Neutral overcurrent setting Ipickup for the IDG curve. It
determines the actual current threshold at which the element starts.
The IDG Time setting sets the minimum operate time at high levels of fault current for IDG curves.
Note:
When using IDG for the Operate characteristic, DT (Definite Time) with a value of zero is recommended to use for the Reset
characteristic.

Figure 113: IDG Characteristic
EPATR B CURVE
The EPATR B curve is commonly used for Sensitive Earth Fault protection. It is based on primary current settings,
employing a SEF CT ratio of 100:1 A. The EPATR_B curve has 3 separate segments defined in terms of the primary
current. It is defined as follows:
Segment Primary Current Range Based on 100A: Current/Time Characteristic
1A CT Ratio
1 ISEF = 0.5A to 6.0A t = 432 X TMS / ISEF0.655 sec
2 ISEF = 6.0A to 200A t = 800xTMS / ISEF sec
3 ISEF > 200A t = 4 x TMS sec
where TMS (time multiplier setting) is 0.025 - 1.2 in steps of 0.025.
Note:
When using EPATR B curve, DT (Definite Time) is always used for the Reset characteristic.

FLEXCURVES
The custom FlexCurves are described in detail in the FlexCurves section of this chapter. The curve shapes for the
FlexCurves are derived from the formulae:
T = TDM x [FlexCurveTime at (I/Ipickup)] when (I/Ipickup) ³ 1.00
TRESET = TDM x [FlexCurveTime at (I/Ipickup)] when (I/Ipickup) £ 0.98
Where:
● T = operate time (in seconds),
● TDM = Multiplier setting,
● Ipickup = Pickup Current setting,
● TRESET = reset time in seconds (assuming energy capacity is 100% and RESET is timed)
Note:
Flexcurve A/B/C/D is renamed as Def User Curve A/B/C/D
DEFINITE TIME CURVES

The Definite Time curve shape operates as soon as the pickup level is exceeded for a specified period of time. The
base Definite Time curve delay is in seconds. The curve multiplier of 0.05 to 600 makes this delay adjustable from
50 to 600000 milliseconds.
T = TDM in seconds, when I > Ipickup
1601-0320 331
Treset = TDM in seconds

Where:
Note:
Note: In Definite Time Curves, Multiplier setting value is provided by ‘Time Delay’ setting.
8.2.2.2 PHASE TIME OVERCURRENT PROTECTION (51P)

You can configure the TOC element as follows:
● Apply any of the IEEE, ANSI, IEC, and IAC standard inverse curves
● Apply any of the four FlexCurves
● Set it to definite time.
The selection of Time Dial Multiplier and minimum Pickup helps to fine tune the protection for accurate upstream/
downstream coordination and during certain conditions, such as manual closing and maintenance.
The settings of this function are applied to each of the three phases to produce Pickup and Trip flags per phase.
There is no intentional dead band when the current is above the Pickup level. However the Pickup accuracy is
guaranteed within the current input accuracy of 1.5% above the set pickup value. The time overcurrent (TOC)
Pickup flag is asserted, when the current on any phase is above the pickup value. The TOC Trip flag is asserted if
the element stays picked up for the time defined by the selected inverse curve and the magnitude of the current.
The element drops from Pickup without operating if the measured current drops below 97 to 98% of the Pickup
value before the time for operation is reached. When Definite Time is selected, the time for TOC operation is
defined only by the TDM setting. When in Definite Time mode, TDM sets the time to operate in seconds.

Default: IEEE Mod Inverse
This setting sets the shape of the selected over-current inverse curve. If none of the standard curve shapes is
appropriate, a FlexCurve can be created. Refer to the User curve and the FlexCurve setup for more details on
their configurations and usage.
TDM
Default: 1.00
This is the Time Multiplier Setting to adjust the operate time of IEC Curve A/B/C, IEEE M/V/E Inverse, US
Inverse, US Short Time, ANSI E/V/N/M Inverse, IAC E/V/N/S Inverse, I2T and I4T curves. For example, if an
IEEE Extremely Inverse curve is selected with TDM = 2, and the fault current is 5 times bigger than the PKP
level, the operation of the element will not occur before 2.59 s have elapsed after Pickup.
TMS
Default: 1.00
This is the Time Multiplier Setting to adjust the operate time of IEC Short Inverse, Long Time Inverse, Rectifier,
Standard Inverse SI(1.3s), and BPN EDF curves.
K (RI)
Default: 1.00
This setting defines the Time multiplier constant to adjust the operate time of the Rapid Inverse (RI) curve.
This k(RI) setting can be made visible from setting management, only when the Curve setting is selected as
Rapid Inverse.
TIME DELAY
Default: 1.000
1601-0320 333
This setting defines the time delay for operation. This Time Delay setting can be made visible from setting
management, only when the Curve setting is selected as Definite Time.
DT ADDER
Default: 0.00
This setting adds an additional fixed time delay to the IDMT Operate characteristic.The DT Adder setting will be
visible for when any IDMT curves are selected under the Curve setting.
RESET
Range: DT, Inverse
Default: DT
Selection of a Definite Time (DT) or Inverse reset time is provided using this setting.
If Definite Time (DT) reset is selected, the Phase TOC element will reset after a time delay provided by the
Reset Time setting. If Inverse reset is selected, the time to reset is calculated based on the reset equation for
the selected inverse curve.
Note: When using IEC Short Inverse, Long Time Inverse, BPN EDF, Rectifier, Rapid Inverse curves for the
Operate characteristic, Definite Time is used by default as Reset characteristic.
RESET TIME
Default: 0.000
This setting provides selection for dropout time delay used to delay the dropout of the detection of the
overcurrent condition.
This can be made visible from setting management when the Reset setting is selected as DT or when using
Long Time Inverse, IEC Short Inverse, BPN EDF, Rectifier, and Rapid Inverse curves.
DIRECTION
Range: Disabled, Forward (Ph Dir OCx FWD), Reverse (Ph Dir OCx REV)
Default: Disabled
This setting determines the direction of Phase TOC element.
V DEP OC
Range: Disabled, VCO, VRO
Default: Disabled
V Dep OC (Voltage Dependent Overcurrent) replaces the legacy Voltage Restrained Overcurrent (VRO) function
by adding Voltage Controlled Overcurrent functionality to it. This setting can now select Disabled, VCO or VRO.
When enabled, this feature controls the Pickup value of each individual Phase Time Overcurrent element in a
fixed relationship with its corresponding phase input voltage.
An overcurrent protection scheme is co-ordinated throughout a system such that cascaded operation is
achieved. This means that if for some reason a downstream circuit breaker fails to trip for a fault condition, the
next upstream circuit breaker should trip.
334 1601-0320
If the current seen by a local device for a remote fault condition is below its overcurrent setting, a voltage
dependent element may be used to increase the sensitivity to such faults. As a reduction in system voltage will
occur during overcurrent conditions, this may be used to enhance the sensitivity of the overcurrent protection by
reducing the pick-up level.
If cold load pickup, autoreclosing, or manual close blocking features are controlling the protection, the Phase
TOC Voltage Restraint does not work, even when enabled.
In Voltage Controlled Operation (VCO) mode of operation, the under-voltage detector is used to produce a step
change in the current setting, when the voltage falls below the voltage setting V Dep OC V<1. The operating
characteristic of the current setting when voltage-controlled mode is selected is as follows:

This setting provides the selection for the voltage input bank, when V Dep OC is enabled.
V Dep OC V1
1601-0320 335
Default: 0.72 x VT
This setting sets the voltage V1 threshold at which the current setting of the overcurrent stage becomes reduced.
This is on a per phase basis.
V Dep OC k
Default: 0.25
This setting determines the Overcurrent multiplier factor used to reduce the pick-up overcurrent setting.

8.2.2.3 PHASE INSTANTANEOUS OVERCURRENT PROTECTION (50P)

The PIOC protection consists of three identical instantaneous overcurrent elements, one for each phase. All three
have identical characteristics. The settings of this function are applied to each of the three phases to produce
Pickup and Trip flags per phase. There is no intentional dead band when the current is above the Pickup level.
However the Pickup accuracy is guaranteed within the current input accuracy of 3% above the set pickup value.
The IOC Pickup flag is asserted, when the current of any phase is above the pickup value. The IOC Operate flag is
asserted if the element stays picked up for the time defined in PH IOC PKP DELAY. The element drops from
Pickup without operating if the measured current drops below 97-98% of the Pickup value before the time for
operation is reached.

8.2.2.4 PHASE DIRECTIONAL OVERCURRENT PROTECTION (67P)

The Phase Directional Overcurrent protection elements (one for each of phases A, B, and C) determine the phase
current flow direction for steady state and fault conditions and can be used to control the operation of the phase
overcurrent elements by sending directional bits to inputs of these elements.
1601-0320 339
The element is intended to send a directional signal to an overcurrent element to prevent an operation when current
is flowing in a particular direction. The direction of current flow is determined by measuring the phase angle
between the current from the phase CTs and the line-line voltage from the VTs, based on the 90° or quadrature
connection. To increase security for three phase faults very close to the VTs used to measure the polarizing voltage,
a voltage memory feature is incorporated. This feature remembers the measurement of the polarizing voltage 3
cycles back and uses it to determine direction. The voltage memory remains valid for one second after the voltage
has collapsed.
The main component of the phase directional element is the phase angle comparator with two inputs: the operating
signal (phase current) and the polarizing signal (the line voltage, shifted in the leading direction by the characteristic
angle, ECA).
The following table shows the operating and polarizing signals used for phase directional control:
POLARIZING SIGNAL (Vpol)

PHASE OPERATING SIGNAL
ABC PHASE SEQUENCE ACB PHASE SEQUENCE
A Angle of Ia Angle of Vbc × (1ÐECA) Angle of Vcb × (1ÐECA)
B Angle of Ib Angle of Vca × (1ÐECA) Angle of Vac × (1ÐECA)
C Angle of Ic Angle of Vab × (1ÐECA) Angle of Vba × (1ÐECA)
340 1601-0320
For 850D dual feeder applications, when the signal input is from CT Bank 1 – J1, VT Bank 1-J2 is used as the
polarizing voltage source. Similarly, when the signal input is from CT Bank 2 – K1, VT Bank 2 – K2 is used as the
polarizing voltage source.

FUNCTION

Range: 0° to 359° in steps of 1°
Default: 30°
The setting is used to select the element characteristic angle, i.e. the angle by which the polarizing voltage is
shifted in the leading direction to achieve dependable operation.
POLARIZING V THRESHOLD
Range (3.xx): 0.050 to 3.000 x VT in steps of 0.001 x VT (up to FW 3.xx)
Range (4.10): 0.015 to 3.000 x VT in steps of 0.001 x VT (from FW 4.10)
Default: 0.700 x VT
The setting is used to establish the minimum level of voltage for which the phase angle measurement is reliable.
The setting is based on VT accuracy.
REV WHEN V MEM EXP

Range: No, Yes
Default: No
The setting is used to select the required operation upon expiration of voltage memory. When set to “Yes” the
directional element output value is forced to Reverse when voltage memory expires; when set to “No” the
directional element is Forward when voltage memory expires.

Default: Off
EVENTS

1601-0320 341

Note:
The Phase Directional element responds to the forward load current. In the case of a following reverse fault, the element
needs some time – in the order of 8 ms – to change the directional signal. Some protection elements such as Instantaneous
Overcurrent may respond to reverse faults before the directional signal has changed. A coordination time of at least 10 ms
must therefore be added to all the instantaneous protection elements under the supervision of the Phase Directional element.
If current reversal is a concern, a longer delay – in the order of 20 ms – is needed.

8.2.2.5 NEUTRAL TIME OVERCURRENT PROTECTION (51N)

The relay computes the neutral current (In) using the following formula:
|In|=|Ia+Ib+Ic|
The settings of this function are applied to the neutral current to produce Trip or Pickup flags. The Neutral TOC
Pickup flag is asserted when the neutral current is above the pickup value. The Neutral TOC Trip flag is asserted if
the element stays picked up for the time defined by the selected inverse curve and the magnitude of the current.
The element drops from Pickup without operation if the measured current drops below 97 to 98% of the Pickup
value before the time for operation is reached. When Definite Time is selected, the time for Neutral TOC operation
is defined only by the TDM setting.

NEUTRAL INSTANTANEOUS OVERCURRENT PROTECTION (50N)

The Neutral Instantaneous Overcurrent protection element computes the neutral current (In) using the following
347
|In| = |Ia + Ib + Ic|

The element responds to the magnitude of a neutral current fundamental frequency phasor calculated from the
phase currents. A positive-sequence restraint is applied for better performance. A small portion (6.25%) of the
positive-sequence current magnitude is subtracted from the zero-sequence current magnitude when forming the
operating quantity of the element as follows:
Iop = 3 * (|I_0| - K * |I_1|) where K = 1/16 and |I_0| = 1/3 * |In|
For FW 4.10 and later, the actual value of operating quantity Iop is available as Neutral IOC Iop under Metering
\Neutral IOC.
The positive-sequence restraint allows for more sensitive settings by counterbalancing spurious zero-sequence
currents resulting from:
● system unbalances under heavy load conditions
● current transformer (CT) transformation errors of during double-line and three-phase faults
● switch-off transients during double-line and three-phase faults
The positive-sequence restraint must be considered when testing for Pickup accuracy and response time (multiple
of Pickup). The operating quantity depends on how test currents are injected into the relay (single-phase injection:
Iop = 0.9375 * I_injected three-phase pure zero sequence injection: Iop = 3 * I_injected).
The settings of this function are applied to the neutral current to produce Pickup and Trip flags. The Neutral IOC
Pickup flag is asserted, when the neutral current is above the pickup value. The Neutral IOC Operate flag is
asserted if the element stays picked up for the time defined by the Neutral IOC PICKUP DELAY setting. If the
Pickup time delay is set to 0.000 seconds, the Pickup and Operate flags are asserted at the same time. The
element drops from Pickup without operation if the neutral current drops below 97 to 98% of the Pickup value.

8.2.2.7 NEUTRAL DIRECTIONAL OVERCURRENT PROTECTION (67N)
Note:
For FW 4.10 onwards, V_X (or VX), is know as V_N (or VN)
The Neutral Directional Overcurrent protection element provides both forward and reverse fault direction indications
shown by the operands Ntrl Dir OC FWD and Ntrl Dir OC REV, respectively. The output operands are asserted if the
magnitude of the operating current is above a Pickup level (overcurrent unit) and the fault direction is seen as
forward or reverse, respectively (directional unit).
The overcurrent unit responds to the magnitude of a fundamental frequency phasor of the neutral current calculated
from the phase currents. There are separate Pickup settings for the forward-looking and reverse-looking functions.
The element applies a positive-sequence restraint for better performance; a small user-programmable portion of the
positive-sequence current magnitude is subtracted from the zero sequence current magnitude when forming the
operating quantity.
Iop = 3 * (|I_0| - K * |I_1|)
The positive-sequence restraint allows for more sensitive settings by counterbalancing spurious zero-sequence
● current transformer (CT) transformation errors of during double-line and three-phase faults
● switch-off transients during double-line and three-phase faults.
350 1601-0320
The positive-sequence restraint must be considered when testing for Pickup accuracy and response time (multiple
of Pickup). The operating quantity depends on the way the test currents are injected into the relay (single-phase
injection: Iop = (1 – K) × Iinjected ; three-phase pure zero-sequence injection: Iop = 3 × Iinjected).
The positive-sequence restraint is removed for low currents. If the positive-sequence current is below 0.8 x CT, the
restraint is removed by changing the constant K to zero. This facilitates better response to high-resistance faults
when the unbalance is very small and there is no danger of excessive CT errors as the current is low.
The directional unit uses the zero-sequence current (I_0) for fault direction discrimination and may be configured to
use either zero-sequence voltage (Calculated V0 or Measured VX (known as VN for FW4.10 onwards)),
ground current (Ig), or both for polarizing. The following table defines the neutral directional overcurrent element.
Directional unit Overcurrent unit
Polarizing mode Direction Compared phasors
Voltage Forward -V_0 1_0 x 1ÐECA Iop = 3 x {|I_0| - K x |
I_1|}
Reverse -V_0 -1_0 x 1ÐECA
Current Forward Ig I_0
Reverse Ig -I_0 If |I_1| > 0.8 x CT
Dual Forward -V_0 or I_0 x 1ÐECA or
Iop = 3 x {|I_0|}
Ig I_0
if |I_1| £0.8 x CT
Reverse -V_0 or -I_0 x 1ÐECA or
Ig -I_0
Where:
● V_0 = 1/3 * (Vag + Vbg + Vcg) = zero sequence voltage
● I_0 = 1/3 * In = 1/3 * (Ia + Ib + Ic) = zero sequence current
● ECA = element characteristic angle
● In = neutral current
When POLARIZING VOLTAGE is set to Measured VX, one-third of this voltage is used in place of V0.
The following figure explains the use of the voltage polarized directional unit of the element by showing the voltage-
polarized phase angle comparator characteristics for a phase A to ground fault, with:
● ECA = 90° (element characteristic angle = centerline of operating characteristic)
● FWD LA = 80° (forward limit angle = the ± angular limit with the ECA for operation
● REV LA = 80° (reverse limit angle = the ± angular limit with the ECA for operation).
The element incorporates a current reversal logic: if the reverse direction is indicated for at least 1.25 of a power
system cycle, the prospective forward indication will be delayed by 1.5 of a power system cycle. The element is
designed to emulate an electromechanical directional device. Larger operating and polarizing signals will result in
faster directional discrimination bringing more security to element operation.
The forward-looking function is designed to be more secure as compared to the reverse-looking function, and
should therefore be used for the tripping direction. The reverse-looking function is designed to be faster as
compared to the forward-looking function and should be used for the blocking direction. This allows better protection
coordination.
The above bias should be taken into account when using the Neutral Directional Overcurrent element to
directionalize other protection elements.

POLARIZING MODE
Range: Voltage, Current, Dual
Default: Voltage
This setting selects the polarizing mode for the directional unit.
If Voltage
○ polarizing mode is selected, the element uses the zero-sequence voltage angle for polarization.
Select either the zero-sequence voltage V0, calculated from the phase voltages, or the zero-sequence
voltage supplied externally as the auxiliary voltage V_X. The calculated V0 can be used as polarizing voltage
only if the voltage transformers are connected in Wye. The auxiliary voltage can be used as the polarizing
voltage if the auxiliary voltage is connected to a zero-sequence voltage source (such as the open delta
connected secondary of VTs). The zero-sequence (V0) or auxiliary voltage (V_X), accordingly, must be
greater than 0.02 x VT to be validated for use as a polarizing signal. If the polarizing signal is invalid, neither
forward nor reverse indication is given.
If Current
○ polarizing mode is selected, the element uses the angle of the ground current measured on the
ground current input. The ground CT must be connected between the ground and neutral point of an
adequate source of ground current. The ground current must be greater than 0.05 x CT to be validated as a
polarizing signal. If the polarizing signal is not valid, neither forward nor reverse indication is given. For a
choice of current polarizing, it is recommended that the polarizing signal be analyzed to ensure that a known
direction is maintained irrespective of the fault location. For example, if using an autotransformer neutral
current as a polarizing source, it should be ensured that a reversal of the ground current does not occur for a
high-side fault. The low-side system impedance should be assumed minimal when checking for this
condition. A similar situation arises for a wye/delta/wye transformer, where current in one transformer winding
neutral may reverse when faults on both sides of the transformer are considered.
If Dual
○ polarizing mode is selected, the element performs both directional comparisons as described above.
A given direction is confirmed if either voltage or current comparators indicate so. If a conflicting
(simultaneous forward and reverse) indication occurs, the forward direction overrides the reverse direction.
POLARIZING VOLTAGE
Range: Calculated V0, Measured VX (or VN for FW 4.10 onwards)
Default: Calculated V0
Selects the polarizing voltage used by the directional unit when Voltage or Dual polarizing mode is set. The
polarizing voltage can be programmed to be either the zero-sequence voltage calculated from the phase
voltages (Calculated V0) or supplied externally as an auxiliary voltage (Measured VX (or VN))

1601-0320 353
Range (4.10): 0.005 to 0.400 x VT in steps of 0.005 x VT

Default: 0.020 x VT
The zero-sequence or auxiliary voltage must be greater than the polarizing supervision voltage configured in this
setting, to be validated for use as a polarizing signal. If the polarizing signal is invalid, neither forward nor reverse
indication is given.
POS SEQ RESTRAINT

Default: 0.063
This setting controls the amount of the positive-sequence restraint. Set to zero to remove the restraint. Set
higher if large system unbalances or poor CT performance are expected.
FORWARD ECA
Range: –180° to 180° in steps of 1°
Default: 75°
This setting defines the element characteristic angle (ECA) for the forward direction in “Voltage” polarizing mode.
“Current” polarizing mode uses a fixed ECA of 0°. The ECA in the reverse direction is the angle set for the
forward direction shifted by 180°.
FORWARD LIMIT ANGLE

Default: 90°
This setting defines a symmetrical (in both directions from the ECA) limit angle for the forward direction.
FORWARD PICKUP
Default: 0.050 x CT
This setting defines the Pickup level for the overcurrent unit of the element in the forward direction. When
selecting this setting it must be kept in mind that the design uses a ‘positive-sequence restraint’ technique for the
Calculated 3I0 mode of operation.

8.2.2.8 GROUND TIME OVERCURRENT PROTECTION (51G)

The settings of Ground Time Overcurrent protection element are applied to the ground input current to produce Trip
or Pickup flags. The Ground TOC Pickup flag is asserted when the ground current is above the PKP value. The
Ground TOC Trip flag is asserted if the element stays picked up for the time defined by the selected inverse curve
and the magnitude of the current. The element drops from Pickup without operation if the measured current drops
below 97 to 98% of the Pickup value before the time for operation is reached. When Definite Time is selected, the
time for Ground TOC operation is defined only by the TDM setting.

Default: Voltage
If Voltage
○ polarizing mode is selected, the element uses the zero-sequence voltage angle for polarization.
Select either the zero-sequence voltage V0, calculated from the phase voltages, or the zero-sequence
voltage supplied externally as the auxiliary voltage V_X. The calculated V0 can be used as polarizing voltage
only if the voltage transformers are connected in Wye. The auxiliary voltage can be used as the polarizing
voltage if the auxiliary voltage is connected to a zero-sequence voltage source (such as the open delta
connected secondary of VTs). The zero-sequence (V0) or auxiliary voltage (Vx), accordingly, must be greater
than the voltage set under Polarizing Volt Supv to be validated for use as a polarizing signal. If the
polarizing signal is invalid, neither forward nor reverse indication is given.
If Current
○ polarizing mode is selected, the element uses the angle of the polarizing current measured on the
ground current input K1-CT (if available). The polarizing current must be greater than 0.05 x CT to be
validated as a polarizing signal. If the polarizing signal is not valid, neither forward nor reverse indication is
given. For a choice of current polarizing, it is recommended that the polarizing signal be analyzed to ensure
that a known direction is maintained irrespective of the fault location.
If Dual
○ polarizing mode is selected, the element performs both directional comparisons as described above. A
given direction is confirmed if either voltage or current comparators indicate so. If a conflicting (simultaneous
forward and reverse) indication occurs, the forward direction overrides the reverse direction.

8.2.2.14 RESTRICTED GROUND FAULT (87G)

Restricted Ground Fault (RGF) protection provides ground fault detection for low-magnitude ground fault currents
primarily for ground faults close to the neutral point of the wye connected transformer winding. An internal ground
fault on an impedance grounded wye winding produces a low magnitude ground fault current depending on the
position of the fault with respect to the winding neutral point.
The diagram below shows the dependence of the fault current on the fault distance from the neutral point.
Figure 132: Fault current with respect to distance from neutral
The resultant primary current can be negligible for ground winding faults within 35% of the distance from the neutral
point since the fault voltage is not the system voltage, but rather the result of the transformation ratio between the
primary windings and the percentage of shorted turns.
Application of Restricted Ground Fault protection extends the fault coverage towards the neutral point for low-
impedance grounded winding.

RGF protection in the 8-series range of relays uses a low impedance current differential scheme. The relay
calculates the magnitude of the ground differential current as an absolute value from the vector summation of the
computed residual current, and the measured ground current, and applies a restraining current defined as the
maximum measured line current (Imax) to produce a percent slope value. The slope setting allows determination of
the sensitivity of the element based on the class and quality of the CTs used. The figure below shows typical wiring
between the winding and ground CTs and the CT terminals, to assure correct performance of the protection.
Figure 134: Three CT wiring for the Restricted Ground Fault protection
RGF protection includes ground current supervision mechanism to provide more security during external non-
ground faults associated with CT saturation. This can cause spurious neutral currents, which may jeopardize the
security of the RGF 1 protection. Therefore, when the GROUND CURRENT SUPERVISION setting is enabled, the
algorithm checks whether the ground current measured by the relay satisfies the selected GROUND CURRENT
SUPERV LEVEL, before making an operation decision. The ground current supervision is not active if the
GROUND CURRENT SUPERVISION is selected as Disabled. The RGF 1 protection works without the
supervision as well.
The settings of this function are applied to the ground and all three phase currents to produce pickup and trip flags.
The RGF 1 pickup flag is asserted, when the restrained ground differential current is above the PKP value. The
RGF 1 operate flag is asserted if the element stays picked up for the time defined in RGF 1 PKP DELAY. The
element drops from Pickup without operation, if the calculated restrained ground differential current drops below
97-98% of the Pickup value, before the time for operation is reached.The Restricted Ground Fault function can be
inhibited by a blocking input.

SIGNAL INPUT
Default: CT Bank 1 -J1
PICKUP
Default: 0.300 x CT
This setting defines the minimum Pickup level of the ground differential current required for operation. The
Pickup value is expressed in times Phase CT (primary) rating.
SLOPE
Default: 50%
This setting defines the slope as the ratio between the ground differential current and the maximum line current
(ground restraining current) as a percentage. The RGF 1 element operates if the actual ground differential/
restraint ratio is greater than the slope and the ground differential current is greater than the RGF 1 Pickup
setting.
PICKUP DELAY
Default: 0.100 s
The RGF 1 Pickup Time Delay setting defines the time required for the RGF 1 element to operate after it has
picked up. This time delay overrides the spurious ground differential current condition caused by CT saturation
due to external non-ground faults, or during transformer energization. Since RGF 1 protection is intended to
detect small ground fault currents, delayed clearance of such a fault is not a high concern. On the other hand
delayed RGF 1 operation due to a spurious ground differential current caused by an out-of-zone fault can be
used as a backup for downstream protections should they fail to clear the fault.
GND CURR SUPERV

Default: Disabled
This setting enables or disables the ground current supervision of the RGF 1 function. If set to Disabled, the
RGF 1 function works without ground current supervision. The ground current level is monitored if the setting is
set to Enabled.
GND CURR SUPERV LEVEL

Default: 0.300 x CT
This setting defines the level of measured ground current above which operation of the RGF 1 protection is
allowed. The setting is presented as a times ground CT (primary) rating. The measured ground current is
compared to the setting only if the GROUND CURRENT SUPERVISION is set to Enabled.

Example: Transformer : 5MVA, 13.8kV/4.16kV, D/Yg1 type
● Rg = 10 ohms
● Phase CTs: 800:5
● Ground CT: 300:5
● Ifgnd (max) = 4.16kV/(10 ohms *√3) = 240A - maximum ground fault current
To detect a ground fault on the Wye winding at 15% distance from the neutral point, the relay shall detect ground
differential current of:
● Igd = (15x240)/100 = 36 A/800 = 0.045 x CT – PKP setting for the RGF protection
The transformer loading is almost unaffected for ground faults close to the winding neutral, so that the winding rated
load can be used as a reference in defining the RGF 1 slope setting. The rated load for 4.16kV Wye winding is:
● Irated = 5MVA/(4.16kV*√3) = 693 A
Slope setting, % = (36 A/693A)*100 = 5.1%. Select 5% if the transformer is expected to run most of the time at full
load. If most of the time the transformer runs at lower than the nominal loads, the slope setting can be set to higher
value:
● @ 70% load the slope setting would be: (36 / 485 A)*100 = 7%
The ground current supervision feature and/or the RGF 1 Pickup time delay can be used if CT saturation due to
heavy external fault, is a concern.

1601-0320
The element responds to the negative-sequence current and applies a positive sequence restraint for better
performance: a small portion (12.5%) of the positive sequence current magnitude is subtracted from the negative
sequence current magnitude when forming the operating quantity:
Iop = |I2| - K * |I_1|
where K = 1/8 and |I_1| = 1/3*|Ia+Ib*(1∠120º)+Ic*(1∠240 º)|
The positive sequence restraint allows for more sensitive settings by counterbalancing spurious negative-sequence
● current transformer (CT) transformation errors during three-phase faults
● fault inception and switch-off transients during three-phase faults.
The positive sequence restraint must be considered when testing for Pickup accuracy and response time (multiple
of Pickup). The operating quantity depends on the way the test currents are injected into the relay (single-phase
injection: Iop = 0.2917 * I_injected; three-phase injection, opposite rotation: Iop = I_injected).
The settings of this function are applied to the calculated negative sequence current to produce Pickup and Trip
flags. The Negative Sequence IOC Pickup flag is asserted, when the negative sequence current is above the pickup
value. The Negative Sequence IOC Operate flag is asserted if the element stays picked up for the time defined by
the Negative Sequence IOC PICKUP DELAY setting. If the Pickup time delay is set to 0.000 seconds, the Pickup
and Operate flags are asserted at the same time. The element drops from Pickup without operation if the negative
sequence current drops below 97 to 98% of the Pickup value.

8.2.2.16 NEGATIVE SEQUENCE DIRECTIONAL OVERCURRENT PROTECTION (67_2)

The relay is equipped with the Negative Sequence Directional Overcurrent protection element. The element
provides both forward and reverse fault direction indications through its output operands Neg Seq Dir OC FWD and
Neg Seq Dir OC REV, respectively. The output operand is asserted if the magnitude of the operating current is
above a Pickup level (overcurrent unit) and the fault direction is seen as forward or reverse, respectively (directional
unit). The overcurrent unit of the element essentially responds to the magnitude of a fundamental frequency phasor
1601-0320 385
of the negative sequence phase current. A positive sequence restraint is applied for better performance: a small
user-programmable portion of the positive sequence current magnitude is subtracted from the negative sequence
current magnitude when forming the element operating quantity:
Iop = |I_2| - K * |I_1|
The positive sequence restraint allows for more sensitive settings by counterbalancing spurious negative sequence
● current transformer (CT) transformation errors
● fault inception and switch-off transients.
The operating quantity depends on the way the test currents are injected into the relay. For single phase injection:
Iop = 1/3 * (1 – K) × Iinjected for I_2 mode
The directional unit uses the negative sequence current (I_2) and negative-sequence voltage (V_2).
The following tables define the Negative Sequence Directional Overcurrent element.

Negative-Sequence Iop = |I_2| - K x |I_1|
Negative Sequence Directional Unit

Direction Compared Phasors
Forward -V_2 I_2 x 1ÐCA
Reverse -V_2 -(I_2 x 1ÐECA)
The negative sequence voltage must be greater than 0.02 x VT to be validated for use as a polarizing signal. If the
polarizing signal is not validated, neither forward nor reverse indication is given. The figure below explains the
usage of the voltage polarized directional unit of the element by showing the phase angle comparator
characteristics for a phase A to ground fault, with settings of:
● FWD LA = 80° (forward limit angle = ± the angular limit with the ECA for operation)
● REV LA = 80° (reverse limit angle = ± the angular limit with the ECA for operation)
system cycle, the prospective forward indication is delayed by 1.5 of a power system cycle. The element is
designed to emulate an electromechanical directional device. Larger operating and polarizing signals result in faster
directional discrimination bringing more security to the element operation.

The forward-looking function is designed to be more secure compared to the reverse-looking function, and should
therefore be used for the tripping direction. The reverse-looking function is designed to be faster compared to the
forward-looking function and should be used for the blocking direction. This allows better protection coordination.
The above bias should be taken into account when using the Negative Sequence Directional Overcurrent element
to directionalize other protection elements.
For dual feeder applications, when the signal input is from CT Bank 1 – J1, VT Bank 1 -J2 is used as the polarizing
voltage source. Similarly, when the signal input is from CT Bank 2 – K1, VT Bank 2 – K2 is used as the polarizing
voltage source.

8.2.2.17 SWITCH ON TO FAULT (SOTF)

Switch on to Fault protection (SOTF) is provided for high speed clearance of any detected fault immediately
following manual closure or closure after a long open time of the circuit breaker. Without SOTF, there is a risk that if
the breaker is closed onto close-in three-phase fault, the measured voltages may be too small for the impedance
zones or the directional overcurrent stages to operate reliably.
Note:
SOTF 1 (2 or 3) are associated with Breaker 1. The SOTF logic uses breaker status from BKR1. SOTF 4 (5 or 6) are
associated with Breaker 2. The SOTF logic uses breaker status from BKR2. The CT Input and VT Input settings should be
configured to match their respective breakers.

The Broken Conductor detection function detects a line broken conductor condition or a single-pole breaker
malfunction condition through checking the phase current input phasors and the I_2 / I_1 ratio. In normal and
balanced load situations this ratio is zero, while in severe load fault conditions an unbalance is produced and this
ratio increases. The intention of this function is to detect a single-phase broken conductor only. As such two-phase
393
To distinguish between single-phase disappearance and system disturbance in all three phases (such as load
change, switching, etc.), the broken conductor element monitors the change in all three phase currents at the
present instance and at four cycles previous. It also monitors changes in the I_2 / I_1 ratio, I_1 minimum, and I_1
maximum.
The broken conductor function is not to be used to respond to fault transients and single-pole tripping/reclosing
conditions. The time delay is programmed to a sufficient length to ensure coordination with the breaker dead time of
the recloser function.
The broken conductor Pickup flag is asserted, when the I_2 / I_1 ratio of the current bank is above the PKP value,
the positive current is in a range of nominal, and phase current changes. The broken conductor Trip flag is asserted
if the element stays picked up for the time defined by the Pickup time delay. The element instantaneously drops
from Pickup without operation, if the I_2 / I_1 ratio decreases to 97% to 98% of the Pickup value, before the time for

I_2/I_1 RATIO
Default: 20.0%
The setting specifies the ratio of negative-sequence current to positive-sequence current. When one phase
conductor is broken, the I_2 / I_1 ratio with balanced remaining two phases is 50%. So normally the setting
should be set below 50% (for example, to 30%).
I_1 MIN
Default: 0.10 x CT
The setting specifies the minimum positive-sequence current supervision level. Ensure the setting is
programmed to a level sufficient to prevent I_2 / I_1 from erratic pickup due to a low I_1 signal. However, the

conditions when I_1 is less than the value specified by this setting.
I_1 MAX
Default: 1.50 x CT
394 1601-0320
The setting specifies the maximum I_1 level allowed for the broken conductor function to operate. When I_1
exceeds this setting, it is considered a fault. This broken conductor function should not respond to any fault
conditions so normally the setting is programmed to less than the maximum load current.

The Undercurrent element responds to a per-phase current. An alarm will occur if the magnitude of any phase
current falls below the undercurrent alarm pickup level for the time specified by the undercurrent alarm delay.
Furthermore, a trip will occur if the magnitude of any phase current falls below the undercurrent trip pickup level for
the time specified by the undercurrent trip delay. The alarm and trip pickup levels should be set lower than the
lowest feeder loading during normal operations.
Undercurrent requires a breaker close status to activate the element. In addition, the Undercurrent element can
be blocked upon the closing of the feeder breaker for a period of time defined by the setting START BLOCK
DELAY. This block may be used in applications when the load requires time to build up to a certain operating level
before the undercurrent element trips or alarms.

8.2.2.20 THERMAL OVERLOAD (49)

The thermal overload protection (Thermal Model) can be applied to prevent damage to the protected cables, dry
transformers, capacitor banks, or even overhead lines. Loads exceeding the load ratings of the protected equipment
can, over time, degrade the insulation, and may, in return, lead to short circuit conditions. As the heating of plant
equipment such as cables or transformers is resistive (I2R), the generated heat is directly proportional to the square
of the flowing current (I2). The relay uses a thermal time characteristic based on current squared and integrated
over time.
Temperature changes during heating follow exponential time constants. The device provides two characteristics for
thermal overload protection; a single time constant characteristic and a dual time constant characteristic. These can
be selected according to the application.
Single time constant characteristic

This characteristic is used to protect cables, dry type transformers and capacitor banks. The single constant thermal
characteristic is given by the equation:
2
 I phase 
  − θ ( t − 1)
k . I
Top = τ × ln  
pickup
2
 I phase 
  − θ
 k . I pickup 
The relay will continuously calculate the thermal capacity as a percentage of the total thermal capacity. The thermal
capacity is calculated as follows:
1601-0320 399
  I phase  Λt
2 2
 I 
 −   − θ ( t − 1)  × e 1
τ
θ =  phase
 k .I
 pickup   k .I pickup  

Where:
● θ (t) = Cable thermal capacity (%) at time t
● θ (t-1) = Cable thermal capacity (%) at time t-1
● Iphase/Ipickup = Ratio between the actual load current and the pickup setting.
● k = overload factor, a setpoint k-Factor, settable between 1 and 1.5
● Δt/τ = Time step Δt divided by the heating or cooling time constant τ.
● τ = Heating and cooling time constant, usually provided by the manufacturer.
The heating time constant is used when the squared (lPhase/(k x IPickup)) ratio is greater than the thermal capacity
θ(t-1) estimated in the previous time step. Otherwise the formula uses the cooling time constant.
When the load current exceeds the (k x PKP setting), and the element picks up. At the same time the thermal
capacity will start to increase at a rate depending on the current amplitude, the prior loading condition of the cable
and heating time constant. When the thermal capacity exceeds the alarm level, the element will generate an alarm
signal that may turn on a programmable LED. The thermal model alarm can be used as a warning for the start of
dangerous overloading conditions and can prevent unnecessary tripping. When the thermal capacity exceeds the
Trip level (i.e., higher than 100% thermal capacity), the element will generate a Trip signal. The Trip flag will drop
out when the Thermal capacity falls below 97%.
Dual time constant characteristic

This characteristic is used to protect equipment such as oil-filled transformers with natural air cooling. The thermal
model is similar to that with the single time constant, except that two time constants must be set.
For marginal overloading, heat will flow from the windings into the bulk of the insulating oil. Therefore, at low
current, the replica curve is dominated by the long time constant for the oil. This provides protection against a
general rise in oil temperature.
For severe overloading, heat accumulates in the transformer windings, with little opportunity for dissipation into the
surrounding insulating oil. Therefore, at high current levels, the replica curve is dominated by the short time
constant for the windings. This provides protection against hot spots developing within the transformer windings.
Overall, the dual time constant characteristic serves to protect the winding insulation from ageing and to minimise
gas production by overheated oil. Note however that the thermal model does not compensate for the effects of
ambient temperature change.
The dual time constant thermal characteristic is given by the equation:
  I phase   I 

8.2.3 VOLTAGE ELEMENTS OVERVIEW

The 889 generator protection relay provides the following voltage protection elements:
● Phase reversal
● Undervoltage curves (UV Curves)
● Phase undervoltage (Phase UV)
● Auxiliary undervoltage (Auxiliary UV)
● Phase overvoltage (Phase OV)
● Auxiliary overvoltage 1 (Auxiliary OV1)
● Auxiliary overvoltage 2 (Auxiliary OV2)
● Neutral overvoltage (Neutral OV)
● Negative sequence overvoltage (Neg Seq OV)
● Volts per Herz 1
● Volts per Herz 2
8.2.3.1 UNDERVOLTAGE CURVES

The undervoltage elements can be programmed to have an inverse time delay characteristic. The undervoltage
delay setpoint defines a family of curves as shown below.
The operating time is given by:
T = D/(1 - V/Vpkp)
Where:
● T = Operating Time
● D = Undervoltage PICKUP TIME DELAY setpoint (for D = 0.00 operates instantaneously)
● V = Voltage as a fraction of the nominal VT Secondary Voltage
● Vpkp = Undervoltage Pickup Level
The element resets instantaneously if the applied voltage exceeds the dropout voltage. The delay setting selects
the minimum operating time of the phase undervoltage.
Note:
At 0% of Pickup, the operating time equals the Undervoltage PICKUP TIME DELAY setpoint.
404 1601-0320
Figure 144: Inverse Time Undervoltage Curves
If FlexCurves are selected, the operating time determined based on following equation:
T = FlexCurve (Vpkp / V)
Note:
FlexCurve reverses the ratio of voltages. The ratio of set pickup value to the measured voltage.
Example: For a Pickup set to 0.9 x VT, when the measured voltage is 0.82 x VT, the ratio would be 0.9/0.8 = 1.1,
therefore in the FlexCurve, the corresponding Trip time setting entry is at 1.1 x PKP (not at 0.82 x PKP). On the
other hand, when the measured voltage is 1 x VT, the ratio is 0.9/1 = 0.9, therefore, in the FlexCurve, the
corresponding Reset time entry is at 0.9 x PKP.
8.2.3.2 PHASE REVERSAL (47)

The relay can detect the phase rotation of the three phase voltages. When all three Phase-to-Phase Voltages (Vab,
Vbc and Vca) are greater than 50% of VT, if the phase rotation of the three phase voltages is not the same as the
Phase Rotation or Reverse Phase Rotation (under Setpoints > System > Power System), and there is no fuse
failure, either an alarm or a trip will occur within the programmed PICKUP DELAY time.
Note:
VT is the secondary voltage programmed under Setpoints > System > Voltage Sensing > Phase VT Secondary.

8.2.3.3 PHASE UNDERVOLTAGE PROTECTION (27P)

The Phase Undervoltage element may be used to protect voltage sensitive loads and system components against
sustained undervoltage conditions. This element may be used for permissive functions, initiation of the source
transfer schemes, and similar functions.
The Phase Undervoltage element may be set as an instantaneous element with no time delay or as a time delayed
element which can be configured with definite time, inverse time or FlexCurves. The Phase Undervoltage element
has programmable minimum operating threshold to prevent some undesired operation when voltage is not
available. The input voltages are the three phase to phase voltages from delta connected VTs (PTs) or three phase
to ground voltages from wye connected VTs (PTs).
The settings of this function are applied to each of the three voltage inputs to produce Pickup and Trip flags per
voltage input. The UV Pickup flag is asserted, when the measured voltage on any of the three voltage inputs is
below the PKP value. The UV Trip flag is asserted if the element stays picked up for the time defined by Pickup time
delay or for the time defined by the selected inverse curve / FlexCurve, and number of voltages required for
operation matches the number of voltages selected in the setting. The element drops from Pickup without operation
if the measured voltage rise above 102 to 103% of the Pickup value, before the time for operation is reached.
The MINIMUM VOLTAGE setting selects the operating voltage below which the element is blocked (a setting of 0
allows a dead source to be considered a fault condition).
This element may be used to give a desired time delay operating characteristic versus the applied voltage (phase to
ground or phase to phase for wye VT connection, or phase to phase for delta VT connection) or as a definite time
element. For the inverse time setpoint, the undervoltage delay setpoint defines a family of curves.

SIGNAL INPUT

This setting provides the selection for the voltage signal input.
MODE
Range: Phase to Ground, Phase to Phase
Default: Phase to Ground
Note: F/W rev 4 default is Phase to Phase
This setting provides the selection of phase to ground and phase to phase voltages for a Wye VT connection
(phase to phase for delta connected VT connection).
Note:
Only Phase-to-Phase mode should be used when Delta/Single’ VT Connection Type and Pseudo Reference Phase-to-Phase
is programmed for the Phase VT Connection setting under System/Voltage Sensing.
PICKUP
Default: 1.00 x VT
This setting sets the Phase Undervoltage Pickup level specified per times VT.
For example, a Pickup setting of 0.80 x VT with a 13800:115 VT translates into 11.04kV (or 92V secondary). If
the mode selection is phase to phase and the Setpoints/System Setup/Voltage Sensing/Phase VT Connection
selection is Wye, the previous example translates to the phase to phase voltage value of 11.04kV x 1.732 =
19.12kV.
MINIMUM VOLTAGE
Default: 0.20 x VT
This setting sets the minimum operating voltage for the undervoltage Pickup level specified per times VT.
For example, a PKP setting of 0.20 x VT with 13800:115 VT translates into 2.76kV (or 23V secondary).
If the Mode setting selection is Phase to Phase and the Setpoints/System Setup/Voltage Sensing/Phase VT
Connection selection is Wye, the previous example translates to a
Phase to Phase voltage value of 2.76kV x 1.732 = 4.78kV.

regarding FlexCurves in the previous section .
PICKUP DELAY

RESET MODE
Range: Definite Time, Dependent Time
This setting is based on IEC 60255-151 reset characteristics.
If Definite Time is selected, the percentage of elapsed time for the operate timer is memorized for the set reset
time. If the pickup condition returns before the reset timer has timed out, the operate time initializes from the
memorized value. Otherwise, the memorized value is reset to zero after the reset time times out.

Figure 146: Reset Mode Definite Time
If Dependent Time is selected, the operate timer start decrementing when the pickup condition resets. If the pickup
condition returns before the reset timer has timed out, the operate timer again start incrementing. Otherwise, the
relay returns to its reset state after the set reset time.

8.2.3.5 PHASE OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION (59P)

The relay provides two identical Phase Overvoltage (OV) elements per protection group, or a total of 12 elements.
Each Phase Overvoltage element may be used to protect voltage sensitive loads and system components against
sustained overvoltage conditions. The Phase Overvoltage element may be set as an instantaneous element with no
time delay or may be set as a definite time element. The input voltages are the three phase to phase voltages from
delta connected VTs or three phase to ground voltages from wye connected VTs.
1601-0320 413
The settings of this function are applied to each of the three voltage inputs to produce Pickup and Trip flags per
voltage input. The OV Pickup flag is asserted when the voltage on any voltage input is above the PKP value. The
OV Trip flag is asserted if the element stays picked up for the time defined by the Pickup time delay and that
number of voltages required for operation is equal to the number defined by voltages required for the operation
setting. The element drops from pickup without operation, if the measured voltage drops below the configured
dropout level of the pickup value, before the time for operation is reached. The dropout level can be configured at
Setpoints > Device > Installation > OV/UV DPO Range.
Phase Overvoltage elements may be used to protect voltage sensitive loads and system components against
sustained overvoltage conditions. The Phase Overvoltage element may be set as an instantaneous element with no
time delay or may be set as a definite time element, Inverse Time, or with FlexCurve. The input voltages are the
three phase to phase voltages from delta connected VTs, or the three phase to ground voltages from wye
connected VTs.
This element may be used to give a desired time-delay operating characteristic versus the applied voltage or as a
definite time element. For the inverse time setpoint, the overvoltage pickup delay setpoint defines a family of curves
as shown below.
T = D / [(V/Vpickup)-1] when V > Vpickup

This setting provides the selection of phase to ground and phase to phase voltages for a Wye VT connection
(phase to phase for delta connected VT connection).
Note:
Only Phase to Phase mode should be selected when Delta/Single VT Connection Type and Pseudo Reference Phase-to-
Phase is programmed for the Phase VT Connection setting under Setpoints > System > Voltage Sensing.
PICKUP
Default: 1.50 x VT
The setting sets the phase overvoltage pickup level to specified per times VT.
For example, a Pickup setting of 1.10 x VT with 13800:115 VT translates into 15.18kV. If the mode selection is
phase to phase and Setpoints > System Setup > Voltage Sensing > Phase VT Connection selection is Wye,
the previous example translates to the phase to phase voltage value of 15.18kV x 1.732 = 26.29kV.

8.2.3.6 AUXILIARY OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION (59X)

The relay provides one Auxiliary Overvoltage (OV) element per protection group, or a total of 6 elements. Each
Auxiliary OV element is used to protect voltage sensitive loads and system components against sustained
overvoltage conditions. This element can be used for monitoring zero-sequence voltage (from an "open corner
delta" VT connection), permissive functions, the source transfer schemes, restoration and similar functions.
The Auxiliary OV element may be set as an instantaneous element with no time delay or may be set as a definite
time element, Inverse Time, or with FlexCurves. The input voltage is the auxiliary voltage.
The settings of the Auxiliary OV Protection function are applied to the auxiliary voltage input to produce pickup and
trip flags. The Auxiliary OV pickup flag is asserted, when the voltage on auxiliary input is above the PKP value. The
Auxiliary OV trip flag is asserted if the element stays picked up for the time defined by pickup time delay, Inverse
Time, or FlexCurves. The element drops from pickup without operation, if the measured voltage drops below
97-98% of the pickup value, before the time for operation is reached.
This element may be used to give a desired time-delay operating characteristic versus the applied voltage or as a
definite time element. For the inverse time setpoint, the overvoltage pickup delay setpoint defines a family of curves
as shown below.
T= D / [(V/Vpickup) - 1] when V > Vpickup
Where:
● T = trip time in seconds
● D = Overvoltage Pickup Delay setpoint
418 1601-0320
● V = actual phase-phase voltage

● Vpickup= Overvoltage Pickup setpoint
● The element reset rate is a linear reset time from the threshold of trip.

8.2.3.7 NEUTRAL OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION (59N)

The relay provides one Neutral Overvoltage (Neutral OV, also called Neutral Displacement) element per protection
group.
The Neutral Overvoltage element can be used to detect asymmetrical system voltage conditions caused by a
ground fault or the loss of one or two phases of the source. The element responds to the system neutral voltage
(3V0), calculated from the phase voltages. The nominal secondary voltage of the phase voltage channels entered
under Setpoints > System > Voltage Sensing > Phase VT Secondary is the base used when setting the Pickup
level. The Neutral Overvoltage element can provide a time-delayed operating characteristic versus the applied
voltage (initialized from FlexCurves A, B, C or D) or can be used as a definite time element. The source voltage
assigned to this element must be configured for a phase VT and phase VTs must be wye connected. VT errors and
normal voltage unbalance must be considered when setting this element.
Note:
The same curves used for the time overcurrent elements are used for Neutral Displacement. When using the curve to
determine the operating time of the Neutral Displacement element, substitute the ratio of neutral voltage to Pickup level for the
current ratio shown on the horizontal axis of the curve plot.
The relay provides Neutral Overvoltage protection with independent time delay characteristics. Each stage provides
a choice of operate characteristics, where you can select between:
● An IDMT characteristic
● A range of user-defined curves
● DT (Definite Time)
The undervoltage delay setpoint defines a family of curves as shown below.
The Inverse Time characteristics is given by:
T = D / [(V/Vpkp) - 1]
1601-0320 421
where:
● D = neutral over voltage Pickup Time Delay setpoint (for D = 0.00 operates instantaneously)
● V = Voltage as a fraction of the nominal VT Secondary Voltage
● Vpkp = neutral over voltage Pickup Level
If FlexCurves are selected, the same curves used for the time overcurrent elements are used for Neutral
Displacement. When using the curve to determine the operating time of the Neutral Displacement element,
substitute the ratio of neutral voltage to the pickup level for the current ratio shown on the horizontal axis of the
curve plot.
T = FlexCurve(V/Vpkp)
Inverse Time neutral over voltage Curves for varying D

The Neutral Overvoltage feature should be applied with caution. It would normally be applied to give line-to-ground
fault coverage on high impedance grounded or ungrounded systems, which are isolated. This constraint stems from
the fact that a measurement of 3V0 cannot discriminate between a faulted circuit and an adjacent healthy circuit.
Use of a time delayed back-up or alarm mode allows other protections an opportunity to isolate the faulted element
first.
The settings of this function are applied to 3V0 calculated from the three phase-to-ground (wye connected VTs)
voltage inputs to produce Pickup and Trip flags per 3V0 calculated voltage. The Neutral OV Pickup flag is asserted
when the calculated 3V0 voltage is above the PKP value. The Neutral OV Trip flag is asserted if the element stays
picked up for the time defined by the selected inverse curve and the magnitude of the 3V0 voltage. The element
drops from Pickup without operation, if the calculated voltage drops below 97 to 98% of the Pickup value before the
time for operation is reached.

894050C1
The relay provides one Negative Sequence Overvoltage (Negative Sequence OV 1) element per protection group,
1601-0320
The Negative Sequence Overvoltage element can be used to detect an asymmetrical system voltage condition, loss
of one or two phases of the source, or reversed phase sequence of voltages. The element responds to the negative
sequence voltage (V2), calculated from the phase voltages. The Negative Sequence Overvoltage element may be
set as an instantaneous element with no time delay, or may be set as a definite time element.
The settings of this function are applied to the calculated Negative Sequence Voltage to produce Pickup and Trip
flags. The Negative Sequence OV Pickup flag is asserted when the Negative Sequence Voltage is above the PKP
value. The Negative Sequence OV Trip flag is asserted if the element stays picked up for the time defined by Pickup
time delay. The element drops from Pickup without operation if the calculated Negative Sequence Voltage drops
below 97 to 98% of the Pickup value before the time for operation is reached.

menu are used for V/Hz operation, then V/Hz is based on the selected Setpoint > System > Voltage Sensing >
The volts-per-hertz (V/Hz) value is calculated using the maximum of the three-phase voltage inputs. If there is no
voltage and nominal frequency power system settings as follows: if the phase voltage inputs defined in the source
427
Ph VT Bnk1-J2 > Voltage 1 > Phase VT Secondary setting, and the Setpoint > System > Power System >
Nominal Frequency setting.
For example, if Phase VT Secondary and Nominal Frequency are set as 120 V and 60 Hz, respectively, these set
values define the base unit as 1 x (V/Hz).
The volts-per-hertz ratio after division of these nominal settings is 120/60 = 2.
Assume the PICKUP setpoint from the V/Hz element is set to 1.05 x (V/Hz). This will mean that in order for the
element to pick up, the actual volts-per-hertz ratio after division should be 2 *1.05 = 2.1.
The ratio of 2.1 can be achieved if for example the measured voltage is 126V and frequency is 60 Hz, or the voltage
is constant at 120 V and the frequency is 57.14 Hz, or any other combination of these two values, which after V/Hz
division equals 2.1.
To check back the PICKUP setting, we use the base (V/Hz) unit = 120/60 = 2, such that the PICKUP setting value is
2.1/2 = 1.05 x (V/Hz).
The element has a linear reset characteristic. The reset time can be programmed to match the cooling
characteristics of the protected equipment. The element will fully reset from the trip threshold in Reset Time
seconds. The V/Hz element can be used as an instantaneous element with no intentional time delay or as a Definite
or Inverse timed element. The characteristics of the inverse curves are shown as follows.

This setting specifies the input voltage used to calculate the per-unit volts-per-Hertz (V/Hz). If three phase

blinder operating characteristic with an offset mho supervisory. The purpose of the supervisory mho is to permit
tripping for swings that pass through the machine and a limited portion of the system, but to prevent operation on
stable swings that pass through both blinders and outside the mho characteristic.
The out-of-step tripping feature operates as follows: The trip sequence identifies unstable power swings by
determining whether the impedance locus enters one blinder, spends a finite time between the left and right blinder
characteristics, and then exits the opposite blinder. The out-of-step trip process is supervised by a mho
characteristic. If the locus enters the left blinder, right blinder and mho characteristic (indicated by the AND
operation of OOS LFT BLD PKP and OOS RGT BLD PKP FlexLogic operands) for an interval longer than PICKUP
DELAY, the timing out signal (OOS TIMER PKP FlexLogic operand) is established. After the PICKUP DELAY timer
times out, latch 1 is set as long as the impedance stays within the mho characteristic. If afterwards, at any time
(given the impedance stays between the two blinders characteristic), the locus exits from the opposite blinder, latch
2 is set as long as the impedance stays inside the mho caracteristic. The element is now ready to trip. If the “Blinder
Exit” trip mode is selected, the OOS OP operand is set immediately and sealed-in for the interval set by the SEAL-
IN DELAY. If the “MHO Exit” trip mode is selected, the element waits until the impedance locus leaves the mho
characteristic, and then the OOS OP operand is set and sealed-in.
The element is set to use the single blinder characteristic with a supervisory mho as illustrated below.

The FlexLogic output operands for the out-of-step element are described as follows:
● The OOS Lft Bld PKP, OOS Rgt Bld PKP, and OOS Timer PKP FlexLogic operands are auxiliary operands
that can be used to facilitate testing and special applications.
● The OOS OP FlexLogic operand can be used to trip the circuit breaker to isolate the loss-of-synchronism .
1601-0320 435
Follow these steps for a typical setting procedure of the out-of-step element:
1. Carry out detailed transient stability studies for the overall system.
2. Determine the values of generator transient reactance (X'd), step-up transformer reactance (XT), and system
impedance under maximum generation (ZmaxS). The total impedance is given by:
3. Determine the values of the machine transient reactance (X'd), and system impedance (ZS). The total
impedance is given by Ztotal = ZS + j * X’d
4. Set MHO FORWARD REACH to 1.5 times the transformer impedance in the system direction. Set MHO
REVERSE REACH to twice the generator transient reactance in the generator direction.
5. Set BLINDERS RCA to the angle of Ztotal, θ.
6. Using the results of transient stability analysis, find the critical angle δc between the machine and the system,
beyond which the system begins to become unstable. If a stability study is not available, this angle is typically
set at 120°. Then, 10 degrees are normally added in order to increase relay operation security, δ = δc +10.
7. Determine the blinder distance, d, from the following equation:
436 1601-0320
8. Set RIGHT BLINDER and LEFT BLINDER to d.

9. Using the results of the transient stability analysis, find the PICKUP DELAY, which is shorter than the time
required for the impedance locus to travel between the left and right blinders during the fastest expected out-
of-step.
10. Validate the settings with the transient stability study cases.

This setting provides the selection for the positive sequence impedance which is calculated by terminal side or

voltages. Positive sequence impedance 2 is calculated using 3-phase K1 currents and 3-phase J2 voltages.
MHO FORWARD REACH

Default: 2.00 ohms
1601-0320 437
This setting specifies the forward reach of the mho characteristic. The reach impedance is entered in secondary
ohms. The reach impedance angle is fixed to 90 degrees.
MHO REVERSE REACH

Default: 2.00 ohms
This setting specifies the reverse reach of the mho characteristic. The reach impedance is entered in secondary
ohms. The reach impedance angle is fixed to -90 degrees.
RIGHT BLINDER
Default: 2.00 ohms
This setting defines the right blinder position of the blinder characteristic along with the resistive axis of the
impedance plane, expressed ins secondary ohms. The angular position of the blinder is adjustable with the use
of the BLINDERS RCA setting.
LEFT BLINDER
Default: 2.00 ohms
This setting defines the left blinder position of the blinder characteristic along with the resistive axis of the
impedance plane, expressed ins secondary ohms. The angular position of the blinder is adjustable with the use
of the BLINDERS RCA setting.
BLINDERS RCA
Default: 90°
This setting defines the angular position of the left and right blinders.
PICKUP DELAY
Default: 0.100 s
This setting should be set to detect the fastest expected unstable power swing and produce out-of-step tripping
in a secure manner. This timer defines the interval that the impedance locus must spend between the left and
right blinders to establish the out-of-step tripping signal. This time delay must be set shorter than the time
required for the impedance locus to travel between the left and right blinders during the fastest expected out-of-
step. Setting the delay too long can reduce dependability.
TRIP MODE
Range: Blinder Exit, MHO Exit
Default: MHO Exit
Selecting Blinder Exit results in an instantaneous trip after the last step in the out-of-step tripping sequence
is completed (the impedance locus leaves the opposite blinder). The Blinder Exit trip mode stresses the circuit
438 1601-0320
breakers as the currents at that moment are high (the electromotive forces of the two equivalent systems are
close to 180° apart).
Selecting MHO Exit results in a trip at the moment when the impedance locus leaves the mho characteristic.
The MHO Exit trip mode relaxes the operating conditions for the breakers as the currents at that moment are
low, preventing the breakers from a maximum recovery voltage during interruption. The selection should be
made considering the capability of the breakers in the system.

Default: 1.00 x CT
A common overcurrent pickup level supervises the left and right blinder characteristics. The supervision
responds to the positive sequence current.
VTFF SUPERVISION
Default: Disabled
VTFF element.
VTFF Supervision is only available if VT Fuse Failure 1(2) function is enabled, otherwise this setpoint is hidden.
SEAL-IN DELAY
Default: 0.100 s
The out-of-step trip FlexLogic operand (OOS OP) is sealed-in for the specified period of time. The sealing-in is
crucial to the MHO Exit trip mode, as the original trip signal is a very short pulse occurring when the impedance
locus leaves the mho characteristic after the out-of-step sequence is completed.

using the offset mho characteristics. This protection is intended as backup to trip generator for the uncleared
system fault. The elements make use of the generator terminal voltage and terminal or neutral current signals,
The distance protection function (ANSI device 21) implements two zones of phase-to-phase distance protection
1601-0320
The first zone is typically used to provide a backup protection for a step-up transformer and generator system bus
protection. The reach is set to cover the step-up transformer impedance with some margin, say 25%. The time
delay should be coordinated with step up transformer and bus backup protection.
Alternatively, first zone reach can set to 50% of transformer impedance with small or no operating time delay to
provide high-speed protection for phase faults, in addition to the generator differential protection. Care must be
taken for possible wrong operation on an out-of-step power swing condition.
The second zone reach is typically set to cover the longest transmission line or feeder outgoing from the generating
station. Care must be taken for possible under-reaching effects due to the fault contribution from other lines or
generators. The element is intended for backup protection and therefore time delay should always be included. This
element is typically set to coordinate with the longest operating time of the system distance relays protecting lines
outgoing from the station.
Relay provides simple phase distance function that uses offset mho characteristic with overcurrent supervision
feature. The offset mho function has the reverse reach controlled independently from the forward reach.
Each phase distance zone is configured individually through its own setting menu.
The element provides a separate measurement in three loops for AB, BC, and CA faults.
There is a setting for provision of the generator step-up transformer connection. In systems with a delta-wye or wye-
delta transformer, the appropriate transformations of voltage and current signals are implemented internally to allow
proper detection of transformer high-side phase-to-phase faults. If this setting is chosen as None, then it is assumed
that the transformer is wye-wye connected or that there is no step-up transformer. The reach setting is the positive
sequence impedance to be covered, per phase, expressed in secondary ohms.
The element uses the following operating quantities.
ABC Rotation ACB Rotation Loop Current (Iloop) Voltage (Vloop)

AB Ia – Ib Vab
None None BC Ib – Ic Vbc
CA Ic – Ia Vca
AB Ö3 x Ia (Vab – Vca) / Ö3
Dy1 Dy11 BC Ö3x Ib (Vbc – Vab) / Ö3
CA Ö3x Ic (Vca – Vbc) / Ö3
AB -Ö3 x Ib (Vab – Vbc) / Ö3
Dy11 Dy1 BC -Ö3 x Ic (Vbc – Vca) / Ö3
CA -Ö3 x Ia (Vca – Vab) / Ö3
Equations from the Current and Voltage columns are used to derive inputs to the three (AB, BC, and CA) phase
distance elements. For example, CTs are located at the delta side of the delta-wye 11 transformer, and a given zone
is set to look through the transformer into the system connected to the wye winding, the transformer setup for that
zone shall be set to Dy11 and the relay would use -Ö3 x Ib instead of a traditional Ia – Ib for the AB phase distance
element.
The phase distance Offset MHO characteristics is described below.
1601-0320 441
a) Definitions
The following definitions pertain to all of the distance functions:
● Iloop: loop current phasors.
● Vloop: loop voltage phasors.
● ( )_1: positive-sequence phasor of ( ) derived from the loop quantities.
● Z: reach impedance (REACH ∠ RCA).
● ZREV: reverse reach impedance (REV REACH ∠ (REV REACH RCA + 180°)).

SIGNAL INPUT
Range: CT Bank 1 -J1, CT Bank 2 -K1
This setting provide selection of terminal or neutral side CTs inputs. When Signal Input is configured to CT Bank
1 -J1, the relay calculates loop currents from 3-phase J1-slot currents. When configured to CT Bank 2 -K1, the
relay calculates loop currents from 3-phase K1-slot currents. 889 Distance always require generator terminal
voltage connected to VT Bank 1 – J2 slot.
XFMR SETUP
Range: None, Dy1, Dy11
Default: None
The phase distance elements can be applied to look through a three-phase delta-wye power transformer. This
element requires phase VTs located at the generator terminals side and CTs located at the generator terminals
side or neutral side. If the transformer is wye-wye connected or there is no step-up transformer, this setting shall
be set to "None". As for a delta-wye transformer, the generator side is connected to the delta winding and the
line side to the wye winding.

FUNCTION
Default: Disabled
The zone spans between the forward reach impedance defined by the REACH and RCA settings, and the
reverse or offset reach impedance defined by REV REACH and REV REACH RCA as illustrated below.
Note:
The CT polarity need to be considered when setting the protection zone direction. The forward direction is defined as to
protect the system if the current wiring is per the typical wiring diagram.
1601-0320 443
Figure 165: Offset Mho Distance Characteristic
REACH
Default: 2.00 ohms
This setting defines the forward reach of the zone. The offset reach is set independently defined as Rev Reach.
The reach impedance is entered in secondary ohms. The reach impedance angle is entered as the RCA setting.
RCA
Range: 30 to 90º in steps of 1º
Default: 85º
This setting specifies the characteristic angle (similar to the ‘maximum torque angle’ in previous technologies).
This setting defines the angle of the forward reach impedance. The setting is an angle of reach impedance as
shown in the distance characteristic figures shown earlier.
REV REACH
Default: 2.00 ohms
This setting defines the offset or reverse reach of the offset mho characteristics. The value must be entered in
secondary ohms.
444 1601-0320
REV REACH RCA

Default: 85º
This setting defines the angle of the reverse reach impedance non-directional zone.
COMP LIMIT
Default: 90º
This setting shapes the operating characteristic. In particular, it produces the lens-type characteristic of the mho
function. In conjunction with the mho shape, the setting improves loadability of the protected line.
OC SUPERVISION
Default: 0.20 x CT
The phase distance elements are supervised by the magnitude of the line-to-line current (fault loop current used
for the distance calculations). For convenience, √3 is accommodated by the pickup (that is, before being used,
the entered value of the threshold setting is multiplied by √3).
If the minimum fault current level is sufficient, the overcurrent supervision pickup should be set above maximum
full load current preventing maloperation under VT fuse fail conditions. This requirement may be difficult to meet
for remote faults at the end of zones 2. If this is the case, the overcurrent supervision pickup would be set below
the full load current, but this may result in maloperation during fuse fail conditions.
DELAY
Default: 0.500 s
This setting allows the user to delay operation of the distance elements and implement stepped distance
protection. The distance element timers for zones 2 apply a short dropout delay to cope with faults located close
to the zone boundary when small oscillations in the voltages or currents could inadvertently reset the timer. Zone
1 does not need any drop out delay since it is sealed-in by the presence of current.
LOAD ENCROACHMENT BLOCK

Range: Disabled, Load Encroachment 1, Load Encroachment 2
Default: Disabled
Load encroachment block function allows blocking of the Phase Distance operation by the Load Encroachment

Phase distance elements could be set to respond to faults beyond any three-phase power transformer. The relay
guarantees accurate reach and targeting for any phase fault.
The following setting rules apply to this feature:
● A given distance zone is terminated by location of the VTs, not the CTs.
● Consequently, the positive-sequence impedance of a transformer must be included in the reach setting only if
the transformer is located between the potential source and the intended reach point.
● The reach setting is entered in secondary ohms and as such must take into account location and ratios of
VTs and CTs as well as voltage ratio of the involved power transformer.
The following equations explain the setting rules. Consider one application as shown in the figure below:
1601-0320 447

Figure 167: Phase Distance Looking Through a Power Transformer
where:
● ZX = intended reach impedance for Zone 1 (primary ohms)
● ZT = positive-sequence impedance of the transformer
VX, VH = transformer rated voltages
● nCT = transformation ratio of the CTs
● nVT = transformation ratio of the VTs
● Z1 = Zone 1 reach setting (secondary ohms)
As the transformer is located between the potential source and the reach point for Zone 1, the reach impedance
must include the positive-sequence impedance of the transformer. In addition, the primary impedance must be re-
calculated for the voltage level of the VTs and CTs, and eventually, re-calculated to secondary quantities:
Z1 = ( ZT (atX ) + Z X ) (VH / VX ) 2 nCT / nVT
8.2.4.1.2 LOAD ENCROACHMENT

The Load Encroachment element responds to the positive-sequence voltage and current and applies a
characteristic shown in the figure below:
Figure 168: Load Encroachment Characteristic
The element operates if the positive-sequence voltage is above a set level, and asserts its output signal so that it
can be used to block selected protection elements such as Phase Overcurrent.
448 1601-0320
The settings of this function are applied to the positive sequence voltage and positive sequence impedance. The
Load Encroachment Pickup flag is asserted when the impedance is inside the Load Encroachment operating area
(see the above figure) and the positive sequence voltage is above the minimum operating value. The Load
Encroachment Trip flag is asserted if the element stays picked up for the time defined by the Pickup time delay.
Load Encroachment can be inhibited by a blocking input.

Default: Both
This setting sets the Load Encroachment direction measurement.
When Direction setting is set as FORWARD:
PICKUP = {|V1| > FORWARDREACH . |I1|} AND {|angle(V1) - angle(I1)|< FORWARDANGLE}
When Direction setting is set as REVERSE:
PICKUP = {|V1| > REVERSEREACH . |I1|} AND {|angle(V1) - angle(I1)|> 180° - REVERSEANGLE}
1601-0320 449
MINIMUM VOLTAGE
Default: 0.20 x VT
The setting sets the minimum operating positive-sequence voltage/phase voltage required for operation of the
Load Encroachment element. If this voltage is below the set minimum threshold, the element does not operate.
Note:
If 3-phase VT is delta connected, the true supervision level is internally changed to 1/Ö3 of the user setting since the base of
VT here is the phase-phase voltage.
MAXIMUM I2

Default: 0.20 x CT
This setting sets the Negative Phase Sequence current threshold for the Load Encroachment function.
FORWARD REACH
Range: 0.02 to 250.00 Ω in steps of 0.01 Ω
Default: 5.00 Ω
The setting specifies the resistive reach of the element as shown in the Load Encroachment characteristic
diagram. The setting is entered in secondary ohms and is calculated as the positive-sequence resistance seen
by the relay under maximum load conditions and unity power factor.
FORWARD ANGLE
Default: 30°
This setting specifies the size of the blocking region as shown on the Load Encroachment characteristic
diagram, and applies this to the positive-sequence impedance.
REVERSE REACH
Range: 0.02 to 250.00 Ω in steps of 0.01 Ω
Default: 5.00 Ω
This setting specifies the resistive reach of the element as shown in the Load Encroachment characteristic
diagram. This setting should be entered in secondary ohms and be calculated as the positive-sequence
resistance seen by the relay under maximum load conditions and unity power factor.
REVERSE ANGLE

The relay provides two identical Directional Power elements per protection group; a total of 12 elements.
1601-0320
The Directional Power element responds to three-phase directional power and is designed for reverse power
(32REV) and low forward power (32FWD) applications for synchronous machines or interconnections involving co-
generation. The relay measures the three-phase power from either a full set of wye-connected VTs or a full-set of
delta-connected VTs. In the latter case, the two-wattmeter method is used.
The element has an adjustable characteristic angle and minimum operating power as shown in the Directional
Power characteristic diagram. The element responds to the following condition:
Pcosq + Qsinq > MIN
Where:
● P and Q are active and reactive powers as measured per the metering convention
● Ɵ is a sum of the element characteristic (DIR POWER 1 RCA) and calibration (DIR POWER 1
CALIBRATION) angles
● SMIN is the minimum operating power.
The element has two independent (as to the PICKUP and DELAY settings) stages for Alarm and Trip, and they can
be set separately to provide mixed power protection.
Figure 170: Directional Power characteristic
By making the characteristic angle adjustable and providing for both negative and positive values of the minimum
operating power, a variety of operating characteristics can be achieved as presented in the figure below. For
example, section (a) in the figure below shows settings for reverse power, while section (b) shows settings for low
forward power applications.

FUNCTION
Default: Disabled
SIGNAL INPUT
Range: Power 1, Power 2
Default: Power 1
This setting provides the selection for the power input. Depending on the order code selection, the
corresponding CT/VT inputs to calculate power are selected under Setpoints > System > Power Sensing.
RCA
Default: 180°
This setting specifies the Relay Characteristic Angle (RCA) for the Directional Power function. Application of this
setting provides the following benefits:
It allows
○ the element to respond to active or reactive power in any direction (active overpower/underpower,
etc.).
Together
○ with a precise calibration angle, it allows compensation for any CT and VT angular errors to permit
more sensitive settings.
It allows
○ for required direction in situations when the voltage signal is taken from behind a delta-wye
connected power transformer and phase angle compensation is required.
For example, the active overpower characteristic is achieved by setting DIR POWER 1 RCA to “0°,” reactive
overpower by setting DIR POWER 1 RCA to “90°,” active underpower by setting DIR POWER 1 RCA to “180°,”
and reactive underpower by setting DIR POWER 1 RCA to “270°”.
CALIBRATION
Range: 0 to 0.95° in steps of 0.05°
Default: 0°
This setting allows the Relay Characteristic Angle to change in steps of 0.05°. This may be useful when a small
difference in VT and CT angular errors is to be compensated to permit more sensitive settings.
The setting enables calibration of the Directional Power function in terms of the angular error of applied VTs and
CTs. The element responds to the sum of the DIR POWER 1 RCA and DIR POWER 1 CALIBRATION settings.
STAGE 1 SMIN
Range: -3.000 to 3.000 x Rated Power in steps of 0.001 x Rated Power
Default: 0.100 x Rated Power
The setting specifies the minimum power as defined along the relay characteristic angle (RCA) for the stage 1 of
the element. The positive values imply a shift towards the operate region along the RCA line; the negative
values imply a shift towards the restrain region along the RCA line. Refer to the Directional power sample
1601-0320 455
applications figure for details. Together with the RCA, this setting enables a wide range of operating
characteristics.
The setting applies to three-phase power and the rated power is as follows:
Rated Power = 3 x VTSecondary (phase-neutral) x VTRatio x CTPrimary(Wye-connected VT), or Rated Power =
(3)1/2x VTSecondary (phase-phase) x VTRatio x CTPrimary (Delta-connected VT)
For example:
A setting of 2% for a 200 MW machine is 0.02 × 200 MW = 4 MW.
If 7.967 kV is a primary VT phase-neutral voltage and 10 kA is a primary CT current, the source rated power is
239 MVA, and, SMIN must be set at 4 MW/239 MVA =0.0167 x Rated ≈ 0.017 x Rated.
If the reverse power application is considered, RCA = 180° and SMIN = 0.017 x Rated.
The element drops out if the magnitude of the positive-sequence current becomes virtually zero, that is, it drops
below the cutoff level.
STAGE 1 DELAY
Default: 0.500 s
The setting specifies a time delay for stage 1. For reverse power or low forward power applications for a
synchronous machine, stage 1 is typically applied for alarming and stage 2 for tripping.
STAGE 2 SMIN
Range: -3.000 to 3.000 x Rated Power in steps of 0.001 x Rated Power
Default: 0.100 x Rated Power
The setting specifies the minimum power as defined along the relay characteristic angle (RCA) for stage 2 of the
element. The setting needs to be coordinated with the setting of stage 1.
STAGE 2 DELAY
Default: 20.000 s
The setting specifies a time delay for stage 2. For reverse power or low forward power applications for a
synchronous machine, stage 1 is typically applied for alarming and stage 2 for tripping.

8.2.5.2 REACTIVE POWER (40Q)

In a generator application, the reactive power element can be used to detect excitation system malfunction, e.g.
under excitation, loss of excitation, etc. Once the 3-phase total reactive power exceeds the positive or negative
level, for the specified delay, a trip or alarm will occur indicating a positive or negative Mvar condition. The level is
programmed in per unit of generator rated MVAR calculated from the rated MVA and rated power factor. VTFF
detection can be used to block this function.
Path: Setpoints > Protection > Group 1 > Power > Reactive Power
TRIP FUNCTION
Default: Disabled
This setting enables the Reactive Power Trip functionality.
POSITIVE VAR TRIP PICKUP

This setting specifies a pickup threshold for the positive MVAR trip function. The level is programmed as a
multiple of Rated MVAR calculated from the rated MVA and rated power factor. Rated reactive power is
calculated as follows: Rated Reactive Power = Rated MVA x sin(cos-1(Rated Power Factor))
Rated MVA and Rated Power Factor are programmed under Setpoints > System > Generator.
NEGATIVE VAR TRIP PICKUP

This setting specifies a pickup threshold for the negative var trip function.
POSITIVE VAR TRIP DELAY

Default: 10.00 s
This setting specifies a time delay for the positive var trip function. Once the 3-phase total reactive power
exceeds the positive level for the duration of the Positive var Trip Delay time, a trip will occur indicating a positive
var condition.

In a synchronous motor application, it may be desirable not to trip or alarm on reactive power until the speed of
the machine is near the synchronous speed or the field has been applied. Therefore, this feature can be blocked
upon the initiation of a motor start for a period of time specified by this setting. From that point forward, the
reactive power trip and alarm elements are active. A value of zero for the block time indicates that the reactive
power protection is active as soon as motor start is detected.

8.2.6 FREQUENCY ELEMENTS
8.2.6.1 FREQUENCY PROTECTION COMMON SETUP

The relay provides a selection to detect between Normal and Hi-Speed Freq as input to detect underfrequency,
overfrequency and rate of change of frequency (ROCOF). Compared to the regular metered voltage frequency
value, the Hi-Speed Freq input has a faster response time, but is less accurate.
The Normal frequency estimation algorithm checks the time between two positive zero-crossing of the effective
frequency signal. It also provides an extra security condition before considering that the new incoming period would
be valid and available for the estimation of the frequency. The frequency is updated with the integration of the last
16 stored periods. When there is a large change in frequency between two consecutive periods, the estimation of
the frequency is updated with the integration of the last 4 valid periods.
The Hi-Speed Freq estimation algorithm is less restrictive and checks the time between two consecutive zero-
crossings in both directions of the effective frequency signal. Therefore, one measurement (raw frequency) would
be available every half cycle. The frequency is updated with the integration of the latest valid stored periods. The
number of periods used for the calculation is specified by the setting Semicycles Set. Another estimation of the
frequency is also provided after the integration of the latest valid stored periods but considering the setting
Semicycles Reset.
The Actual value Hi-Speed Freq is available under Path: Measurement > Hi-Speed Freq.
High-Speed Frequency
Default: Disabled
This setting enables measurement of Hi-Speed Freq. When enabled, all the frequency-based elements (UF, OF,
ROCOF) provide user-configurable selection between Normal and Hi-Speed Freq. The selection between
Normal and Hi-Speed Freq is specified by the setpoint Frequency Input. When disabled, all the frequency-
based elements (UF, OF, ROCOF) use Normal Frequency.
Freq Set # Semi-Cycles

Range: 5 to 16
Default: 5
Short Description:
The number of semi-cycles used for frequency estimation.
Freq Reset # Semi-Cycles

Range: 3 to 16
Default: 3
The number of semi-cycles used for frequency estimation to evaluate the reset conditions.
8.2.6.2 UNDERFREQUENCY (81U)

The relay can be used as the primary detecting relay in automatic load-shedding schemes based on
underfrequency. The need for such a relay arises if during a system disturbance, an area becomes electrically
isolated from the main system and suffers a generation deficiency due to the loss of either transmission or
generation facilities. If reserve generation is not available in the area, conditions of low system frequency occur
462 1601-0320
which can lead to a complete collapse. The relay provides four identical Underfrequency (UNDERFREQ) elements
per protection group, or a total of 24 elements, which can automatically disconnect sufficient load to restore an
acceptable balance between load and generation. The Underfrequency element can be set as an instantaneous
element with no time delay or as a definite time delayed element. The Underfrequency element has the
programmable minimum operating thresholds to prevent undesired operation during periods of light load or
unavailable voltage. The input voltages are the three phase-to-phase voltages from delta connected VTs (PTs),
three phase-to-ground voltages from wye connected VTs (PTs), or single phase auxiliary voltage. The input currents
are the three phase currents.
The Underfrequency Pickup flag is asserted when the measured frequency of the specified source is below the PKP
value and the voltage and current are above the MINIMUM levels. The Underfrequency Trip flag is asserted if the
element stays picked up for the time defined by the Pickup time delay. The element drops from Pickup without
operation if the measured frequency rises above 0.03Hz of the Pickup value and stays dropped-out for the defined
time delay before the time for operation is reached.
The minimum operating voltage setting selects the minimum voltage below which the element is blocked.
The minimum operating current setting selects the minimum current below which the element is blocked. Operation
during periods of light load are prevented.
Path: Setpoints > Protection > Group 1(6) > Frequency > Underfrequency 1(X)
FUNCTION
Default: Disabled
FREQUENCY INPUT
Range: Normal, High-Speed
Default: Normal
You can select Normal or High-speed frequency as an input. Compared to the regular metered voltage
frequency value, the high-speed frequency has the faster response but lesser accuracy. This setpoint is only
available when Hi-Speed Freq is enabled under the path: Setpoints\Protection\Frequency\Common Setup.
BLOCK FROM ONLINE

Default: 1.00 s
In a generator application, it may be desirable not to trip or alarm until the machine is online and the field has been
applied. When this timer is programmed greater than zero, the feature remains blocked until the machine is online.
A value of zero for the block time indicates that the element is active as soon as generator becomes online.
PICKUP
Range (normal frequency): 15.00 to 65.00 Hz in steps of 0.01 Hz
Range (high-speed frequency): 40.00 to 65.00 Hz in steps of 0.01 Hz
Default: 59 Hz

PICKUP DELAY
Default: 2.000 s
DROPOUT DELAY
Default: 2.000 s
VT INPUT
MINIMUM VOLTAGE
Default: 0.700 x VT
The setting sets the minimum voltage for Underfrequency element operation specified per times VT. The setpoint
prevents incorrect operation before energization of the source to the relay location, and during voltage dips.
Note:
If the 3-phase VT uses a delta connection and SIGNAL INPUT is set to Ph VT Bnk1-J2, the positive sequence voltage is used
as the supervision voltage. In such condition, the true supervision level is internally changed to 1/Ö3 of the user setting since
the base of VT here is the phase-phase voltage.
Note:
If the 3-phase VT uses a delta connection, the positive sequence voltage is used as the supervision voltage. In such
condition, the true supervision level is internally changed to 1/Ö3 of the user setting since the base of VT here is the phase-
phase voltage.
Note:
When the source input for tracking frequency differs from that used for Under Frequency function, due to frequency variations,
you may encounter notable voltage measurement errors as the frequency of input signal moves away from the tracking
frequency source input. For instance, when the setting `Frequency Input' is configured to auxiliary voltage (from the 4th VT),
while the tracking frequency comes from the main source's three-phase voltages, any difference between the frequency of the
auxiliary voltage (Vx) and the three-phase voltages (3VT) leads to a magnitude measurement error in Vx, caused by the
deviation of Vx frequency from the main frequency
CT INPUT (not for 889)

Default: CT Bank 1-J1 or CT Bank 1-K1, dependent on order code
MINIMUM CURRENT
464 1601-0320
Default: 0.200 x CT
The setting sets the minimum value of current required on any phase to allow the Underfrequency element to
operate. The setpoint is used to prevent underfrequency tripping during periods of light load, when this action
would have an insignificant effect on the system. A setting of zero is suspend current supervision.

8.2.6.3 OVERFREQUENCY (81O)

The relay provides identical Overfrequency (OVERFREQ) elements per protection group.
A significant overfrequency condition, likely caused by a breaker opening and disconnecting load from a particular
generation location, can be detected and used to quickly ramp the turbine speed back to normal. If this is not done,
the over speed can lead to a turbine trip, which would then subsequently require a turbine start up before restoring
the system. If the overfrequency turbine ramp down is successful, the system restoration can be much quicker. The
overfrequency monitoring feature of the relay can be used for this purpose at a generating location.
The Overfrequency feature is inhibited from operating unless the magnitude of the positive sequence or auxiliary
voltage rises above a threshold. When the supply source is energized, the overfrequency delay timer is allowed to
start timing only when the threshold is exceeded and the frequency is above the programmed Pickup level. In the
same way, when an overfrequency condition starts the overfrequency delay timer and the voltage falls below the
threshold before the timer has expired, the element resets without operating.
The Overfrequency element may be set as an instantaneous element with no time delay, or as a definite time
delayed element. The Overfrequency element has a fixed minimum operating threshold to prevent undesired
operation during periods of unavailable voltage. The input voltages are the three phase-to-phase voltages from
delta connected VTs (PTs), three phase-to-ground voltages from wye connected VTs (PTs), or single phase auxiliary
voltage.
The settings of this function are applied to each source to produce Pickup and Operate flags. The Overfrequency
Pickup flag is asserted when the measured frequency of the specified source is above the PKP value and the
voltage is above the threshold. The Overfrequency Operate flag is asserted if the element stays picked up for the
time defined by the Pickup time delay. The element drops from Pickup without operation if the measured frequency
decreases below 0.03 Hz of the Pickup value and stays dropped out for the defined time delay before the time for
The minimum operating voltage is set as a threshold below which the element is blocked.

8.2.6.4 FREQUENCY RATE OF CHANGE (81R)

There is one Frequency Rate of Change protection element which can respond to rate of change of frequency with
voltage, current and frequency supervision.
The Rate of Change element may be set as an instantaneous element with no time delay or as a definite time
delayed element. The rate of change element has the programmable minimum operating voltage and current
thresholds to prevent undesired operation under specific system conditions.
The settings of this function are applied to each source to produce Pickup and Trip flags.
1601-0320 469
The Frequency Rate of Change Pickup flag is asserted when the calculated frequency rate of change of the
specified source is above the PKP value, the voltage and current are above the MINIMUM levels, and the frequency
is within a certain range. The Frequency Rate of Change Trip flag is asserted if the element stays picked up for the
time defined by the Pickup time delay. The element instantaneously drops from Pickup without operation, if the
frequency rate of change drops below 96% of the Pickup value, before the time for operation is reached.
The minimum voltage and current thresholds select the minimum voltage and current below which the element is
blocked.
The minimum and maximum frequencies set the operating frequency range out of which the element is blocked.
Path: Setpoints > Protection > Group 1(6) > Frequency > Frequency Rate of Change 1(X)
FUNCTION
Default: Disabled
The selection of Trip, Latched Trip, Alarm, Latched Alarm, or Configurable setting enables the element.
FREQUENCY INPUT
Default: Normal
TREND
Range: Decreasing, Increasing, Bi-directional
Default: Decreasing
The setting allows configuring of the element to respond to increasing or decreasing frequency, or to a frequency
change in either direction.
PICKUP
Range: 0.10 to 15.00 Hz/sec in steps of 0.01 Hz/sec
Default: 0.50 Hz/sec
The setting specifies an intended Pickup threshold.
For applications monitoring a decreasing trend, set TREND to Decreasing and specify the Pickup threshold
accordingly. The operating condition is: -df/dt > PKP.
For applications monitoring an increasing trend, set TREND to Increasing and specify the pickup threshold
accordingly. The operating condition is: df/dt > PKP.
For applications monitoring rate of change of frequency in any direction, set TREND to “Bi-Directional” and
specify the Pickup threshold accordingly. The operating condition can be either of the above two conditions.
PICKUP DELAY
470 1601-0320
Default: 2.000 s
This setting provides a definite Pickup time delay. Instantaneous operation is selected by a Pickup time delay
setting of 0.000 s.
MINIMUM FREQUENCY
Range: 20.00 to 80.00 Hz in steps of 0.01 Hz (3.x.x, normal speed with 4.xx)
Range: 40.00 to 70.00 Hz in steps of 0.01 Hz (4.xx high speed)
Default: 45.00 Hz
The setting defines the minimum frequency level required for operation of the element.
The setting may be used to effectively block the feature based on frequency. For example, if the intent is to
monitor an increasing trend but only if the frequency is already above certain level, this setting is set to the
required frequency level.
MAXIMUM FREQUENCY
Range: 20.00 to 80.00 Hz in steps of 0.01 Hz (3.x.x, normal speed with 4.xx)
Range: 40.00 to 70.00 Hz in steps of 0.01 Hz (4.xx high speed)
Default: 65.00 Hz
The setting defines the maximum frequency level required for operation of the element.
The setting may be used to effectively block the feature based on frequency. For example, if the intent is to
monitor a decreasing trend but only if the frequency is already below a certain level (such as for load shedding),
this setting is set to the required frequency level.
VT INPUT
This setting provides selection of the frequency input.
MINIMUM VOLTAGE
Default: 0.700 x VT
The setting defines the minimum voltage level required for operation of the element. The supervising function
responds to the positive-sequence voltage. Overvoltage supervision is used to prevent operation under specific
system conditions such as faults.
Note:
If the 3-phase VT uses a delta connection and FREQUENCY INPUT is set to Ph VT Bnk1-J2, the positive sequence voltage is
used as the supervision voltage. In such condition, the true supervision level is internally changed to 1/Ö3 of the user setting
since the base of VT here is the phase-phase voltage.
1601-0320 471
Note:
phase voltage.
CT INPUT
Default: CT Bank1-J1 or CT Bank1-K1, dependent on order code
This setting provides the current bank selection for the minimum current setting.
MINIMUM CURRENT
Default: 0.200 x CT
This setting defines the minimum current level required for operation of the element. The supervising function
responds to the positive-sequence current. Typical application includes load shedding. Set the Pickup threshold
to zero if no overcurrent supervision is required. The setting of zero suspends the current supervision.
BLOCK
Default: Off
The element will be blocked when the selected operand is asserted.
OUTPUT RELAYS
Each relay can be selected to become either energized or de-energized when operated, and to operate as latched,
self-resetting or pulsed.
EVENTS
Default: Enabled
The selection of the Enabled setting enables the events of the function.
TARGETS
Default: Self-reset
This setting is used to define the operation of an element target message. When disabled, no target message is
issued upon operation of the element. When set to Self-Reset, the target message and its LED indication
follow the operate state of the element, and self-reset once the operate element condition clears. When set to
Latched, the target message will remain visible after the element output returns to logic 0 until a RESET
command is received by the relay.

9.3 GENERATOR MONITORING
9.3.1 RUNNING HOURS

The relay can calculate/accumulate generator running hours, which may be of interest for periodic maintenance.
Since running hour calculations do not rely on external/special input (Tachometer), it basically utilizes generator
terminal voltage and frequency measurement, and hence, Running hours is always available (as a generator
metering value). Running Hours are accumulated if the generator terminal positive sequence voltage (Slot-J V1) is
above 0.5 x VT and frequency is above 10 Hz. Initial running hours can be added in case if generator has existing
runtime value. In case if total running hours exceed the use-setting limit, the function would alarm the condition.

9.3.2 FREQUENCY OUT-OF-BAND ACCUMULATION (81A)

A generator turbine is designed to operate within a specific frequency and speed range (around the nominal),
typically ±5%. During load rejection or coast down, the generator turbine may operate at a higher speed (frequency)
or lower speed (frequency) respectively, which is outside of the normal operation frequency band. In these
conditions, the turbine will pass through operating frequencies where the turbine blades find stimulus at their natural
frequencies. Blade vibrations at these natural frequencies result in stress on the blades that is accumulated, and
can result in cracking in some parts of the blade structure such as the tie wires or blade covers. The Frequency
Out-Of-Band (OOB) Accumulation feature provides diagnostic information and alarms based on the accumulated
off-nominal (out-of-band) frequency operation time of a turbine over several frequency bands. This alarm can be
used to schedule maintenance or other actions as desired. The available setting of an upper and lower frequency
for each band enables the user to overlap bands of frequencies in the accumulation function. The accumulation
function can be blocked as desired. For example, accumulation may be blocked during an out-of-service condition
or during testing as set via an input to the relay.
The following General settings are available to all accumulators.
Path: Setpoints > Monitoring > Generator > Frequency OOB Accumulation > General
MINIMUM VOLTAGE
Default: 0.10 x VT
This setting specifies the minimum positive-sequence voltage level required to allow the frequency out-of-band
accumulators to operate. This threshold is used to prevent an incorrect accumulation when operating quantity is
too low.
RESET ACCUMULATORS

Frequency OOB accumulators can be reset to zero using any FlexLogic operand.
Note:
Using Virtual Input with the Self-reset option is not recommended. Any FlexLogic operand selected as a reset input should
remain high for at least two power cycles.
BLOCK
Default: Off
This setting selects a FlexLogic operand to block out-of-band frequency accumulation ina ll bands/accumulators.
This is typically required to avoid unnecessary accumulation when relay testing is being performed.

9.3.3 THERMAL OVERLOAD PROTECTION (49TOL)

The thermal overload protection element corresponds to the IEC 255-8 standard and is used to detect thermal
overload conditions in protected power system elements. Choosing an appropriate time constant, the thermal
overload protection element can be used to protect different elements of the power system. The cold curve
characteristic is applied when the previous averaged load current over the last 5 cycles is less than 10% of the base
current. If this current is greater or equal to 10% of the base current, then the hot curve characteristic is applied.
The IEC255-8 cold curve operate time is defined as follows (EQN 1):
top = top x ln {I2 / (I2-(k.Ib)2}

The IEC255-8 hot curve operate time is defined as follows (EQN 2):
top = top x ln {(I2 - Ip2) / (I2-(k.Ib)2}

where:
● top = time to operate
● τop = operate time constant
● I = measured overload RMS current
● Ip = measured load RMS current before overload occurs
● k = IEC 255-8 k-factor applied to Ib, defining maximum permissible current above nominal current
● Ib = protected element base (nominal) current or full load current (FLA)
For example, when this element is used for the generator overload protection, Ib is the generator rated current
calculate from the Rated MVA and Rated Voltage set under Path: Setpoints > System > Generator > General.
Ib is calculated as follows (EQN 3):
484 1601-0320
Ib = Rated MVA / Ö3(Rated Voltage)

The square of the load RMS current (Ip), in EQN 2, represents the thermal capacity before overload occurs, as
determined by EQN 6. Therefore, the trip time obtained from the IEC hot curve takes into account the percentage of
thermal capacity that has already been used. The cold curve characteristic is applied when the previous averaged
load current over the last 5 cycles is less than 10% of the base current. If this current is greater or equal to 10% of
the base current, then the hot curve characteristic is applied.
The reset time of the thermal overload protection element is also time delayed using following formula (EQN 4):
treset = treset x ln {(k.Ib)2 / (I2-(k.Ib)2} + Tmin

where:
● tReset = time to reset
● τReset = reset time constant
● Tmin = minimum reset time setting
In some applications, the shape of the power system element thermal damage curve substantially deviates from the
standard IEC curve. It may be necessary to use a custom curve in order to incorporate the exact match of the actual
overload damage curve without compromising protection. For these conditions, it is recommended that the
FlexCurves be used. FlexCurves allows the user to program selected operate (top) and reset time (tReset) for pre-
determined current levels.
The relay incorporates four programmable FlexCurves™ - FlexCurve A, B, C and D. The points for these curves are
defined by the user in EnerVista D&I Setup software. User-defined curves can be used for thermal overload
protection in the same way as IEC curves. Each of the four FlexCurves™ has 120-point settings for entering times
to reset and operate; 40 points for reset (from 0 to 0.98 times the Pickup value) and 80 for operate (from 1.03 to 20
times the Pickup value).
Note:
The equations shown above (EQN1, 2, 3, 4) are not applicable when a setpoint Overload Curve is programmed as a
FlexCurve.
Once the load current exceeds the overload level (k x Ib), it enters an overload phase; that is, heat accumulation
becomes greater than heat dissipation. The thermal overload element reacts by incrementing the thermal capacity
used (TCU) at a rate dependent on the selected thermal curve and overload level. When the accumulated thermal
capacity reaches 100%, the Thermal OL OP operand is set. This operand remains asserted until it is reset.
The thermal overload protection element estimates thermal capacity used TCU using the following equations
calculated each power cycle. When current is greater than the pickup level, I > k x Ib, element starts increasing the
thermal capacity (EQN 5):
When current is less than the dropout level, |I < 0.97 x k x Ib|, the element starts decreasing the thermal capacity
(EQN 6):
1601-0320 485
where:
● TCUn = thermal capacity used at index n
● TCUn-1 = thermal capacity used at index n - 1
● Δt = power cycle duration

The thermal overload protection element removes the Thermal OP output operand when E < 5%. In case of
emergency, the thermal memory and Thermal OP output operand can be reset using the FlexLogic operand
programmed under the Thermal Reset setting.
All calculations are performed per phase. If the accumulated thermal capacity reaches a value of 100% in any
phase, the thermal overload protection element operates, and only resets when thermal capacity is less than 5% in
all three phases.
Path: Setpoints > Monitoring > Thermal Overload Protection
FUNCTION
Default: Disabled
This setting enables the Thermal Overload functionality.
SIGNAL INPUT
This setting provides the selection for the 3-Phase CT bank inputs. This setting allows applying this element
either on the terminal side or neutral side of the Generator.
k-FACTOR
Default: 1.10
This setting defines the current level at which the power system element is considered to be overloaded. If the
current exceeds the k x Ib threshold, the thermal overload protection reacts by accumulating thermal capacity.
OVERLOAD CURVE
Range: IEC, FlexCurve A, FlexCurve B, FlexCurve C, FlexCurve D
Default: IEC
The thermal overload curve determines the thermal limit overload conditions that can damage the power system
element. The overload curve can take one of five formats: IEC, FlexCurve A, FlexCurve B, FlexCurve C, or
FlexCurve.
OPERATE TIME CONSTANT

Default: 45 min
This setting specifies thermal operate time constant for IEC curves as defined by the IEC 255-8 standard
equations (EQN 1 & 2). When the IEC curves are selected, the thermal overload element calculates the time to
operate (top) using the IEC255-8 cold curve and IEC255-8 hot curve equations, and increases thermal capacity
as defined by the equation EQN 5.
TD MULTIPLIER
Range: 0.00 to 600.00 in steps of 0.01 when the thermal model curve is a FlexCurve
1601-0320 487
Default: 1.00
This setting is only applicable when the Overload Curve setting is programmed as one of the FlexCurves (A, B,
C, or D). TD Multiplier is used to shift the overload curve on the time axis to create a family of the different
curves. The TD Multiplier value is used to select the curve that best matches the thermal characteristics of the
protected power system element.
This setting allows the selection of a multiple of the base curve shape (where the time dial multiplier = 1) with the
curve shape setting. For example, all times for a TDM = 10 are ten times the multiplier 1, or base curve values.
RESET TIME CONSTANT

Default: 45 min
This setting specifies the thermal reset rime constant for IEC curves, to determine the reset time using EQN 4 to
reset the thermal overload protection.
MIN RESET TIME

Default: 10.0 min
This setting specifies the minimum time to reset the thermal overload protection. This setting is only applicable to
IEC curves.

9.3.4 SPEED
The relay is capable of measuring the motor/generator speed. Any of the input contacts can be used to read the
pulses from the input source. The source of the pulses can be an inductive proximity probe or Hall Effect gear tooth
sensor. The speed algorithm calculates the number of pulses in the window length (WL) and converts it into an
RPM value. A minimum pulse width of 10% of a revolution is required to detect a pulse from the pulse source.
The following equation is used to calculate the speed based on the detection of the number of pulses N during
window length WL.
Where:
●
N – number of pulses during time defined by the Cal. Window Length (WL)
●
PPR – pulses per revolution defined by setpoint PULSES PER REV (PPR)f – system frequency
●
WL – calculated window length in cycles is defined as: WL = (60 x f) / (PPR x 50)
●
This element has two modes of speed: under speed and over speed which is defined by the setpoint
DIRECTION.
In the under speed mode, a trip and alarm is configured so that the machine must be at a certain speed within a set
period of time from starting. The trip and alarm features are configured so that the specified speed (TRIP PICKUP
or ALARM PICKUP) must be reached in the specified time (TRIP DELAY or ALARM DELAY) otherwise the
element operates. Initially, the time delay begins when the machine starts rotating and resets when the desired
speed is reached. Once the machine is running with the rated speed and then that speed drops below the set
threshold, the time delay restarts and the designated output contact will operate if the machine fails to reach the set
speed in the allotted time.
In the over speed mode, the tachometer trip and alarm features are configured so that if the specified speed (TRIP
PICKUP or ALARM PICKUP) is exceeded for the specified time (TRIP DELAY or ALARM DELAY), the element
operates. Initially, the time delay begins when the machine speed exceeds the pickup value resets when the speed
drops below the pickup.
1601-0320 489
Path: Setpoints > Monitoring > Speed
TRIP FUNCTION
Default: Disabled
This setting enables the Speed protection Trip functionality.
INPUT
Range: Off, Any Digital Input
Default: Off
Any of the digital input contacts can be used to read the pulses from the input source. For example, an inductive
proximity probe or Hall Effect gear tooth sensor may be used to sense the key on the motor. The probe can be
powered by the +24 V from the input switch power supply. The NPN transistor output can be sent to one of the
digital inputs.
Note:
The voltage threshold must be set to 17 V for the inputs to be recognized using the internal +24 V.
The following figure illustrates wiring examples of PNP-type and NPN-type speed probes connected to the input
terminals.
For illustration purposes, the breaker status inputs are shown along with the speed probe input.
Example a and b: Internal +24V supply is used to power both the speed probe connected to CI # 4 and breaker
status signals (DRY type) connected to CI # 1 & 2 of the same Slot F.
Example c and d: Internal +24V supply is used to power the speed probe connected to CI # 4 while an external
dc power supply is used by the breaker status signals (WET type) connected to CI # 1 and 2. In this example,
since both speed probe and breaker status signals are connected to Slot F, the voltage threshold must be set to
17V.
Note:
When the NPN type speed probe is used, the on/off state of the sensor input is reversed. When the probe sensor state is On
(Closed), the relay sensor Input will indicate Off (Open) and when the probe sensor state is Off (Open), the relay sensor Input
will indicate On (Closed). Thus, when the motor is stopped, the speed sensor input will be ON.
490 1601-0320

Figure 182: Wiring Examples of Speed Protection Input
Note:
The maximum load current that can be delivered by the internal +24 V supply is 80 mA. When the internal +24 V supply is
used to power the probe, the current limitations of the 24V supply must be considered.
RATED SPEED
Range: 100 to 7200 RPM in steps of 1
Default: 3600 RPM
RPM defines the rated speed of the motor.
Note:
This setting is located under Setpoints > System > Generator Setup
PULSES PER REV

Range: 1 to 6 PPR in steps of 1 PPR
Default: 1 PPR
The Number of pulses per revolution (PPR) is required to calculate the switching frequency of the input pulses.
Switching frequency can be calculated as follows.
Switching frequency = (PPR x RPM) / 60
Where:
PPR
○ = pulses per revolution
RPM

to Overspeed, the Trip and/or Alarm function picks up when the measured speed is above the programmed pickup
level.

9.4 BREAKER MONITORING
9.4.1 TRIP AND CLOSE CIRCUIT MONITORING

The first and second Form A relay outputs on slot F include a circuit to monitor the DC voltage across the output
contact when it is open. To do that, an external jumper is wired between the terminals FA_1 NO and FA_1 OPT/V
for the Trip coil monitoring, or/and FA_2 COM and FA_2 OPT/V for the Close coil monitoring.
The monitor contains a level detector whose output is set to logic 1 (ON) when the voltage is above 20 volts. The
voltage monitor is used to check the health of the overall trip and closing circuit.
The two figures below show the two different connections of the breaker trip and close coils to the relay’s trip and
close output relays for either no voltage monitoring and for voltage monitoring of the circuits.

Some applications require monitoring of the Trip coil or/and Close coil continuously, regardless of the breaker
position (open or closed). This can be achieved by connecting a suitable resistor across the auxiliary contacts. With
1601-0320 495
such connections, the trickle current is maintained by the resistor. For these applications the setting for the Bypass

9.4.2 BREAKER ARCING CURRENT

The relay provides one Breaker Arcing Current element. This element calculates an estimate of the per-phase wear
on the breaker contacts by measuring and integrating the current squared passing through the breaker contacts as
an arc. These per-phase values are added to accumulated totals for each phase and compared to a programmed
threshold value. When the threshold is exceeded in any phase, the relay can set an output operand and set an
alarm. The accumulated value for each phase can be displayed as an actual value.
1601-0320 501
The same output operands that are selected to operate the Trip output relay that is used to trip the breaker
indicating a tripping sequence has begun, are used to initiate this feature. A time delay is introduced between
initiation and starting of integration to prevent integration of current flow through the breaker before the contacts
have parted. This interval includes the operating time of the output relay, any other auxiliary relays and the breaker
mechanism. For maximum measurement accuracy, the interval between the change-of-state of the operand (from 0
to 1) and contact separation should be measured for the specific installation. Integration of the measured current
continues for 100 ms, which is expected to include the total arcing period.

The relay provides breaker health information by monitoring and analyzing the operation count, arcing energy of
breaking current, arcing time, tripping time, closing time and spring charging time if applicable. The breaker health
1601-0320
status depends on many factors, such as permissible operation number, magnitude of breaking current, mechanical
The operation count is able to give direct information by comparing it with the permissible operation number. The
longer tripping time and closing time can provide an approximate estimation of trip/close coils and mechanical wear.
The increasing spring charging time may imply developing problems in motor and spring mechanisms. Meanwhile,
the increase in arcing energy of the breaking current may reflect the possibility of contact wear. Longer arcing time
may suggest the loss of dielectric strength in the arc chamber. If the arcing energy or any of the time intervals is
above the related Pickup levels for the use-defined times, the Alarm Led is lit.
The scheme is equipped with three incomplete sequence timers for Trip/Close time, arc time and spring charge time
respectively. So it automatically resets the related time interval after the programmed delay.
A breaker operation function is also included, where breaker operation failure is caused by either of the following
conditions:
● The breaker does not respond to a Trip command within the programmed breaker operation delay time.
● The breaker does not respond to a Close command within the programmed time.
Path: Setpoints > Monitoring > Breaker 1 > Breaker Health
FUNCTION
Default: Disabled
MODE
Range: Detection, Monitoring
Default: Detection
The Breaker Health has two running modes: detection and monitoring. Since the monitored time intervals differ
for different breaker types and manufacturers, the detection mode can be used to help set the Pickup settings
based on the historical true values. The operation count, arcing energy of the breaking current, arcing time,
tripping time, closing time and spring charging time are measured and displayed in Records > Breaker Health,
but the element does not pick up when in detection mode. Monitoring mode is the normal mod e, wherein
measurements are analyzed and the element may pick up accordingly.
PRESET TRIP COUNTER

Default: 0
This setting pre-sets the actual operation number when the relay is starting in service or the record is cleared.
TRIP TRIGGER
Default: Off
This setting assigns the trip initiation signal.
CLOSE TRIGGER
Default: Off
This setting assigns the close initiation signal.
1601-0320 505
SPRING CHARGE STATUS

Default: Off
The setting selects the signal to show the status of Spring Charge. Normally, the contact input connected to the
auxiliary contact of the limit switch can be used.
TRIP TIME PICKUP

Default: 0.050 s
The setting sets the Pickup level of the Trip time. The Trip time interval is initiated by the Trip Trigger signal and
stopped by the Open Status signal.
CLOSE TIME PICKUP

Default: 0.050 s
The setting sets the Pickup level of the Close time. The Close time interval is initiated by the Close Trigger signal
and stopped by the Close Status signal.
INCOMPLETE TRP/CLS TIME

Default: 0.100 s
The setting declares a breaker operation failure condition if the breaker does not respond within this time delay.
The setting should be greater than the Trip time PKP value and Close time PKP value.
ARC TIME PICKUP

Default: 0.100 s
The setting sets the Pickup level of the Arc time. The Arc time is initiated by the Open Status signal and stopped
when the current samples in one cycle are less than 0.02 CT. Then the Arc time is equal to the calculated time
interval minus one cycle.
INCOMPLETE ARC TIME

Default: 0.300 s
The setting declares an Arc time failure condition if there are currents flowing through the breaker after this time
delay. This setting should be greater than the Arc time PKP value.
SPRING CHARGE TIME PICKUP

Default: 15.000 s
This setting sets the Pickup level of the Spring Charge time. The Spring Charge time is measured from the pulse
duration of the Spring Charge Status.
506 1601-0320
INCOMPLETE CHARGE TIME

Default: 45.000 s
The setting declares a Charge time failure condition if the spring charging process is not finished after this time
delay. The setting should be greater than the Charge time PKP value.
ARC ENERGY PICKUP

Range: 1 to 100000 kA2-c in steps of 1 kA2-c
Default: 1000 kA2-c
The setting sets the Pickup level of the arc energy. The arc energy value is calculated in the Breaker Arcing
Current element.
Note:
The arc energy is calculated by the breaker arcing current element. If the breaker arcing current element is disabled, the arc
energy is not calculated and this setting should not be used. The arc energy used here is the individual value for each trip and
not the accumulated value recorded in the Breaker Arcing Current element.
ALARM COUNTER
Default: 5
The setting sets the alarm counter level. One counter is used to accumulate the Pickup data from all monitoring
quantities. If the counter value is above the alarm counter level, the LED is lit and one operand is asserted.

9.5 FUNCTIONS
9.5.1 DEMAND
Current Demand is measured on each phase, and on three phases for real, reactive, and apparent power. Setpoints
allow emulation of some common electrical utility demand measuring techniques for statistical or control purposes.
Note:
The relay is not approved as, or intended to be, a revenue metering instrument. If used in a peak load control system, the
user must consider the accuracy rating and method of measurement employed, and the source VTs and CTs, in comparison
with the electrical utility revenue metering system.
The relay can be set to calculate Demand by any of three methods; Thermal Exponential, Block Interval, Rolling
Demand.
Thermal Exponential
This selection emulates the action of an analog peak recording Thermal Demand meter. The relay measures the
quantity (RMS current, real power, reactive power, or apparent power) on each phase every second, and assumes
the circuit quantity remains at this value until updated by the next measurement. It calculates the Thermal Demand
equivalent based on:
d(t) = D(1 - e-kt)

Where:
● d = demand value after applying input quantity for time t (in minutes)
● D = input quantity (constant)
● k = 2.3/thermal 90% response time.
Figure 192: Thermal Demand Characteristic (15 min response)

The 90% thermal response time characteristic defaults to 15 minutes. A setpoint establishes the time to reach 90%
of a steady-state value, just as with the response time of an analog instrument. A steady-state value applied for
twice the response time will indicate 99% of the value.
Block Interval
This selection calculates a linear average of the quantity (RMS current, real power, reactive power, or apparent
power) over the programmed Demand time interval, starting daily at 00:00:00 (i.e. 12 am). The 1440 minutes per
day is divided into the number of blocks as set by the programmed time interval. Each new value of Demand
becomes available at the end of each time interval.
1601-0320 509
Rolling Demand
This selection calculates a linear average of the quantity (RMS current, real power, reactive power, or apparent
power) over the programmed Demand time interval, in the same way as Block Interval. The value is updated every
minute and indicates the Demand over the time interval just proceeding the time of update.
9.5.1.1 CURRENT DEMAND

The Current Demand for each phase is calculated individually, and the Demand for each phase is monitored by
comparison with a single Current Demand Pickup value. If the Current Demand Pickup is equaled or exceeded by
any phase, the relay can cause an alarm or signal an output relay.

9.5.2 PULSED OUTPUTS

The relay provides a Pulse Output element for four energy measurements. The Pulse Output element can operate
auxiliary relays after an adjustable energy increment for the quantities of positive and negative MWh (Megawatt
hours) and positive and negative MVARh (Mega Volt Amp Reactive hours).
Pulses occur at the end of each programmed energy increment. Upon power-up of the relay, the Pulse Output
function, if enabled, continues from where it was at the time of loss of control power. For example, if control power is
518 1601-0320
removed when the positive Watt hours stored at last pulse was 24.000 MWh, when control power is re-applied a
pulse occurs at 34.000 MWh if the energy increment is set at 10.000 MWh.
1. The Auxiliary Output relay(s) used for this element must be set to Self-Resetting. The pulses consist of a
one second on-time and a one second off-time. This feature is programmed such that no more than one
pulse per two seconds is required.
2. The relay is not a revenue class meter and cannot be used for billing purposes.
3. Energy quantities are displayed in MWh and MVarh, with resolutions of 1 kWh and 1 kVarh respectively.

9.5.3 DIGITAL COUNTERS

The relay provides sixteen identical Digital Counters. A Digital Counter counts the number of state transitions from
logic 0 to logic 1.
The Digital Counters are numbered from 1 to 16. The counters are used to count operations such as the Pickups of
an element, the changes of state of an external contact (e.g. breaker auxiliary switch), or the pulses from a watt-
hour meter.
Path: Setpoints > Monitoring > Functions > Digital Counters > Digital Counter 1 (16)
FUNCTION
Default: Disabled
NAME
Range: Any 13 alphanumeric characters

Assigns a label to identify the unit of measure with respect to the digital transitions to be counted. The units label
will appear in the metering corresponding Actual Values Status under Records > Digital Counters.
PRE-SET
Range: -2147483648, 0, +2147483647
Default: 0
The setpoint sets the count to a required pre-set value before counting operations begin, as in the case where a
substitute relay is installed in place of an in-service relay, or while the Counter is running.
COMPARE
Range: -2147483648, 0, +2147483647
Default: 0
The setpoint sets the value to which the accumulated count value is compared. Three FlexLogic output
operands are provided to indicate if the present value is ‘more than (HI)’, ‘equal to (EQL)’, or ‘less than (LO)’ the
set value.
UP
Default: Off
The setpoint selects the FlexLogic operand for incrementing the Counter. If an enabled UP input is received
when the accumulated value is at the limit of +2147483647, the counter rolls over to -2147483648 and shows
the alarm ‘Digital Counter 1 at Limit’.
522 1601-0320
DOWN
Default: Off
The setpoint selects the FlexLogic operand for decrementing the Counter. If an enabled DOWN input is received
when the accumulated value is at the limit of +2147483647, the counter rolls over to -2147483648 and shows
the alarm ‘Digital Counter 1 at Limit’.
SET TO PRE-SET
Default: Off
The setpoint selects the FlexLogic operand used to set the counter to the pre-set value. The counter is set at
pre-set value in the following situations:
When
○ the Counter is enabled and Digital Counter 1 Set to Pre-Set operand has value 1 (when the Counter is
enabled and Digital Counter 1 Set to Pre-Set operand has value 0, the Counter will be set to 0).
When
○ the Counter is running and Digital Counter 1 Set to Pre-Set operand changes the state from 0 to 1
(Digital Counter 1 Set to Pre-Set changing from 1 to 0 while the Counter is running has no effect on the
count).
When
○ a reset or reset/freeze command is sent to the Counter and Digital Counter 1 Set to Pre-Set operand
has the value 1 (when a reset or reset/freeze command is sent to the Counter and Digital Counter 1 Set to
Pre-Set operand has the value 0, the Counter will be set to 0).
RESET
Default: Off
The setpoint selects the FlexLogic operand for setting the count, either 0 or the pre-set value depending on the
state of the Counter 1 Set to Pre-set operand.
FREEZE/RESET
Default: Off
The setpoint selects the FlexLogic operand for freezing (capturing) the accumulating count value into a separate
register with the associated date and time of the operation while resetting the count to either 0 or the pre-set
value depending on the state of the Counter 1 Set to Pre-set operand.
FREEZE/COUNT
Default: Off
The setpoint selects the FlexLogic operand for freezing (capturing) the accumulating count value into a separate
register with the associated date and time of the operation while continuing counting. The present accumulated
value and frozen (captured) value with the associated date/time stamp are available as STATUS values. If
control power is interrupted, during the power-down operation, the accumulated and frozen (captured) values
are saved into non-volatile memory.

9.6 HARMONIC DETECTION
The Harmonic detection 1(6) element monitors the selected 2nd to 5th harmonic or Total Harmonics Distortion
(THD), which is present in the phase currents. The relay provides six identical Harmonic Detection elements.
In a distribution network, harmonic detection can be used to monitor spurious harmonics from inverter based
distributed energy resources, and take control actions such as islanding DERs or turning on harmonic filters. During
transformer energization or motor starts, the inrush current present in phase currents can impact some sensitive
elements, such as negative sequence overcurrent. Therefore, the ratio of the second harmonic to the fundamental
magnitude per phase is monitored, while exceeding the settable pickup level, an operand is asserted, which can be
used to block such sensitive elements.
During startup or shutdown of generator connected transformers, or following a load rejection, the transformer can
experience an excessive ratio of volts to hertz, that is, become overexcited. Similarly, the ratio of the fifth harmonic
to the fundamental magnitude can be monitored to detect the overexcitation condition.
Note:
The harmonics monitored in this element is calculated from the phase currents, unlike the second or fifth harmonic differential
current used in the transformer differential element.
Note:
The harmonics are updated every protection pass. The THD is updated every three cycles, which is not recommended as a
blocking signal.

FUNCTION
Default: Disabled
SIGNAL INPUT
Default: CT Bank 1–J1
HARMONIC
Range: 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, THD
Default: 2nd
This setting selects the specified harmonic or THD to be monitored. The harmonic or THD is expressed in
percent relative to the fundamental magnitude.
PICKUP
Default: 20.0%
526 1601-0320
PICKUP DELAY
Default: 0.000 s

Range: Any One, Any Two, All Three, Average
Default: Any One
This setting defines the phases required for operation, and the detail is explained below:
ANY
○ ONE: At least one phase picked up.
ANY
○ TWO: Two or more phases picked up.
ANY
○ THREE: All three phases picked up.
AVERAGE:
○ The average of three-phase harmonics or THDs picked up.
If set to Average, the relay calculates the average level of the selected harmonic and compares this level
against the pickup setting. Averaging of the selected harmonic follows an adaptive algorithm depending on the
fundamental current magnitude per-phase. If the fundamental magnitude on any of the three phases goes below
the current cut-off level, the selected harmonic current from that phase is dropped (zeroed) from the equation for
averaging, and the divider is decreased from 3 to 2. The same happens if the magnitude of the fundamental
magnitude on one of remaining two phases drops below the cut-off level. In this case the selected harmonic on
this phase is dropped from summation, and the divider is decreased to 1.
MIN OPER CURRENT

Default: 0.10 x CT
This setting sets the minimum value of current required to allow the Harmonic Detection element to operate.
If PHASES FROM OPERATION is set to Average, the average of three-phase currents is used for supervision.
A similar adaptive average algorithm is applied to calculate the average of operation current magnitude.

9.7 TRANSIENT GROUND FAULT DETECTION

Some distribution systems run completely insulated from earth. Such systems are called unearthed systems. The
advantage of an unearthed system is that a single phase to earth fault does not cause an earth fault current to flow.
This means the whole system remains operational and the supply is not interrupted. The system must be designed
to withstand high transient and steady state over voltages, however, and so its use is generally restricted to low and
medium voltage distribution systems.
When there is an earth fault in an unearthed 3-phase system, the voltage of the faulted phase is reduced to the
earth potential. This causes the phase voltage in the other two phases to increase, which causes a significant
charging current between the phase-to-earth capacitances. This can cause arcing at the fault location. Many
systems use a Petersen coil to compensate for this, thus eliminating the arcing problem. Such systems are called
compensated networks. The network is earthed with an inductive reactor, where its reactance is made nominally
equal to the total system capacitance to earth. Under this condition, a single-phase earth fault does not result in any
steady state earth fault current.
The introduction of a Petersen coil introduces major difficulties when it comes to determining the direction of the
fault. This is because the faulted line current is the sum of the inductive current introduced by the Petersen coil and
the capacitive current of the line, which are in anti-phase with each other. If they are equal in magnitude, the current
in the faulted line is zero. If the inductive current is larger than capacitance current, the direction of the faulted line
current will appear to be in the same direction as that of the healthy line.
Standard directionalizing techniques used by conventional feeder protection devices are not adequate for this
scenario, therefore, we need a different method for determining the direction of the fault. Two commonly used
methods are the First Half Wave method and the Residual Active Power method.
First Half Wave Method

The initial transient wave, generated at the fault point travels towards the bus along the faulted line, until it reaches
the healthy line. For forward faults the high frequency fault voltage and current components are in opposite
directions during the first half wave, whereas for reverse faults, they are in phase. This fact can be used to
determine the fault direction. This method, however, is subject to the following disadvantages:
● The time duration of the characteristic is very short, in most cases not more than 3ms. Because of this, it
requires a high sampling frequency (3000Hz or even higher)
● It requires an analogue high pass filter, necessitating special hardware
● It is affected by the fault inception angle. For example, when the fault inception angle is 0°, there are no initial
travelling waves.
Residual Active Power Method

Residual Active power, which is sometimes used to detect the instance of a fault can also in some cases be used
for detecting the fault direction. Although the capacitive currents can be compensated by an inductive current
generated by a Petersen coil, the active (instantaneous) current can never be compensated for and this is still
opposite to that of the healthy line. This fact can also be used to directionalise the fault.
1601-0320 529
For a forward directional fault, the zero-sequence active power is the power loss of Petersen’s coil, which is
negative. For a reverse fault, the zero-sequence active power is the power loss of the transmission line, which is
positive. This method, however, is subject to the following disadvantages:
● The zero-sequence active power will be very small in magnitude for a reverse directional fault. Its value
depends on the power loss of transmission line.
● The zero-sequence active power may be too small in magnitude to be detected for a forward directional fault.
Its value depends on the power loss of Petersen coil.
● High resolution CTs are required
Due to the low magnitude of measured values, reliability is compromised. This product does not use the above
techniques for directionalisation. This product uses an innovative patented technique called Transient Reactive
Power method to determine the fault direction of an earth fault in a compensated network.
Transient Ground Fault Detection (TGFD) in this device comprises three modules:
● Transient Ground Fault Detection module (TGF)
● Fault Type Detector (FTD)
● Direction Detector (DD)
Note:
Note: TGF is implemented for 50Hz only.
TRANSIENT GROUND FAULT DETECTOR

To establish if there is an earth fault on the system somewhere is straightforward. A simple residual overvoltage
comparison can determine this. Therefore, a TGF[X]> Start signal is produced by comparing the neutral voltage with
a threshold voltage set by VN Threshold. The difficulty comes with establishing the type of fault and its direction.
FAULT TYPE DETECTOR

The FTD uses a Fundamental analysis (FA) technique to establish whether the fault is an intermittent fault or a
steady state faults. For Transient Earth Fault Detection, the detector counts the Residual Voltage bursts within a
specified time window. With some clever signal processing the detector module creates pulses by comparing the
bursts with a settable threshold, then counts these pulses. If the number of pulses equals or exceeds the number
specified by the FTD> Fault Count setting, within the time window specified by the FTD> Time Window, the fault is
deemed to be intermittent and the TGF[X]> Intermit Operand is asserted. If there are fewer pulses than this number,
this indicates either a disturbance or a permanent fault. To establish which, we need to look at the RMS value of the
residual voltage.
If there are fewer pulses than specified and the RMS value does not drop below setting within the specified time
window, the fault is deemed to be permanent. In this case the TGF[X]> Steady Operand is asserted. If there are
fewer pulses than specified and the RMS value does drop below setting, this indicates that a disturbance has been
detected but it is not a fault. In this case, the TGF[X]> Steady Operand is not asserted.
The inputs to this module are:
● The residual voltage
● FTD> VN (defines the threshold which converts the residual voltage burst into a pulse
● FTD> Time Window (defines the time window - default is 2 seconds)
● FTD> Fault Count (defines the fault count)
The FTD outputs two signals to indicate whether the fault is steady state or intermittent.
530 1601-0320
DIRECTION DETECTOR
The Direction Detector (DD) uses a patented technique based on Transient Reactive Power (TRP) to establish the
direction of the fault. Unlike traditional methods, this TRP method does not require high resolution CTs or special
analogue filtering hardware and is therefore cheaper to implement.
It can be shown that the residual voltage and residual current components can be reliably used as discriminative
criteria between a faulty and healthy feeder at 220Hz.
The admittance response of a healthy distributed feeder is shown below using a Pi model:
Figure 200: Healthy line response
In the above figure, the phase response of the admittance is consistent at 90o up to frequency f1 (approximately
3000Hz). For a compensated faulty feeder, the admittance response is shown below using a Pi model.
Figure 201: Faulty line response
We can observe that the phase angle (and thus, the reactive power flow) changes from 90° to -90° at frequencies
higher than f2. Based on the above, we have clear direction discrimination between a healthy and faulted feeder at
any frequency between f2 and f1 approximately.
Note:
The resonant frequency in the above system is 70Hz. For a perfectly compensated system, this will be 50Hz.
IED’s use an anti-aliasing band pass filter with cut-off frequency of 150Hz. Furthermore, at 220Hz the post-filter
magnitude is approximately 0.5pu, and at 330Hz, it is less than 0.2pu. To avoid any integer harmonics, and to avoid
severely attenuated quantities due to the filter, we have chosen 220Hz as the most suitable frequency for direction
determination.
1601-0320 531
In the forward direction, the residual voltage leads the residual current by 90°, and in the reverse direction the
residual voltage lags the residual current by 90°. These criteria can be used to directionalise the fault.
The residual voltage (Vres) after passing through the bandpass filter tuned to 220 Hz, has 90° added to its phase.
The residual current (Ires) is also passed through a 220 Hz bandpass filter, but no phase shift is applied.
After residual voltage and current signals pass through the band pass filter, VN becomes VN’ due to 90º shift:

Figure 202: VN phase shift
As a healthy line is capacitive and a faulty line is inductive:

● If VN’ and IN are in opposite direction it means feeder is faulty (forward) so transient reactive power is
negative.
● If VN’ and IN are in same direction it means feeder is healthy (reverse) so transient reactive power is positive.
Dynamic thresholds
The Transient P and transient Q are calculated during fault conditions to help determine the the fault direction.
The transient active power measurement is computed at nominal frequency. ( P. trans)
The transient reactive power measurement is computed at 220 Hz. (Q trans)
The maximum Values of the Transient P and Q are stored during the fault’s detection and are used for the
calculation of the dynamic thresholds.
After that, at every protection pass the dynamic thresholds are updated as:
● Q negative threshold = -Dir>Qf Pickup + 0.1 * QtransMax
● P negative threshold = -Dir>Qf Pickup + 0.1 * PtransMax
● P positive threshold = Dir>Qr Pickup + 0.1 * PtransMax
The P/Q threshold discriminates between the use of P transient and Q transient in the TGF algorithm. When the
active power is higher than this threshold while the Q transient value are kept below it, the algorithm uses the P
transient as the operate input, otherwise the Q transient value is used instead.
The next figure illustrates the Reactive and active power selection:

The following default settings are recommended for majority of applications:
● FTD>VN 8.000 V
● Dir>Qf Pickup 50.0 KW
● Dir>Qr Pickup 21.0 KW
It is important to note that all settings for the TGFD function, including those at 220Hz, can be set based on 50Hz
nominal secondary values. This is because the gain of the 220Hz transient filter is 1.
The inputs to this module are:
● The residual voltage
● The residual current
● FTD>VN (defines the threshold for the TEFD detection ).
● P/Q Threshold (defines the threshold for the selection between P or Q in fault’s detection)
The TEFD outputs two signals to indicate a forward and a reverse fault.
The Direction Detector should be disabled in the case of solid grounded system and ground directional overcurrent
element is enabled. In such case, the directionality will be determined by the ground directional element. Therefore,
TGFD only should be enabled the FTD (Fault Type detector) to detect an intermittent fault or a transient fault.
The following Operands are also available:
Inhibit: used to inhibit the TEF function and reset all associated DDBs
Reset TEF: can be configured as a user-defined manual reset alarms.

When Latched Alarm is selected and the TGFD operates, the LED ALARM will flash during the TGFD operating
condition, and will be alight steadily, after the conditions are cleared. The LED ALARM can be cleared by issuing
a reset command. The Output Relay #1 Trip will not operate if Latched Alarm or Alarm setting is selected.
The Output relay #1 Trip can be configured to operate using the TEFD output operands and the FlexLogic.
The output relay #1 Trip will operate only when Trip function is selected, and the TEFD operates. The LED
ALARM will not turn on, if the TEFD operates when set to function Trip.

9.8 RESISTANCE TEMPERATURE DETECTOR FUNCTIONS
9.8.1 RTD TEMPERATURE

The Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) wiring diagram is shown below:
RTD
1
8
Figure 210: RTD Wiring diagram
Note:
To enhance the accuracy of the RTD, ensure all 3 cables are of the same length and gauge. In addition, the Compensation
and Return wires must be connected on the RTD side and not on the relay side.
RTD Inputs
The relay has two methods of supporting RTD inputs.
● I/O cards installed in the relay can supply up to 13 RTDs.
● An optional CANBUS-based Remote Input/Output module (RMIO unit) can also be installed, which can
monitor up to 12 additional RTDs (referred to as RRTDs). The RMIO unit supports 6, 9, or 12 RRTDs.
Hardware and software is provided to receive signals from external Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs) and
convert these signals into a digital format for use as required. These channels are intended to be connected to any
of the RTD types in common use.
Depending on the order code (Advanced Monitoring option selected), the relay is supplied with one combo card
consisting of one RTD input, one Ohms input, four DCmA inputs and seven DCmA outputs. Additionally, the relay
can be furnished with up to two optional RTD cards, each of them having 6 RTD input channels. Only slots B and C
can accept the optional RTD cards.
Note:
If only one RTD card is ordered at the time the relay is ordered, this RTD card is always shown in slot B. The order code
selection does not allow for an RTD card in slot C, if no RTD card is ordered in slot B.
542 1601-0320
Note:
An I/O card L ordered in Slot G will contain an additional RTD input on the card. It will be the highest RTD number shown (i.e.
if 1 additional RTD card is used, then the low voltage I/O (LVIO )RTD will be RTD #7).
An alphanumeric name is assigned to each channel; this name is included in the channel actual values. It is also
used to reference the channel as the input parameter to features designed to measure this type of parameter.
Selecting the type of RTD connected to the channel configures the channel. The conversion chart is shown in the
following table.

RTD Protection
The relay can monitor up to 12 RTDs and 12 RRTDs, each of which can be configured to have a trip temperature
and an alarm temperature. The RTD Temperature protection menu will be seen on the relay upon availability of RTD
input/inputs. The RRTD Temperature protection setpoints can be seen only if the relay has the RMIO module
installed and validated. The minimum RTD Temperature requirement is to set the setpoint TYPE. The default value
for TYPE, for each RTD is 100 Ω Platinum. The protection RTD Trip, and RTD Alarm from the menu are
optional. They respond to directly measured RTD temperature. The Alarm temperature is set slightly above the
normal measured temperature for the transformer top-oil, bottom-oil, or LTC oil. The Trip temperature is normally
set at the maximum permissible oil temperatures defined as dangerous for the transformer and the transformer
insulation.
This element also monitors the RTD broken connection and blocks the RTD trip and alarm functions if the RTD
connection is detected as Open or Shorted and generates RTD Open and RTD Shorted FlexLogic operands. An
RTD is detected as Open when the RTD connection is either open or the temperature is greater than 250°C. An
RTD is detected as Shorted when the RTD connection is either shorted or the temperature is equal to less than
-40°C.
Note:
The RTD input is active regardless of whether or not, the RTD Trip, or/and RTD Alarm functions are enabled.

9.8.2 RTD TROUBLE

When set to Alarm or Latched Alarm, this element monitors all the RTDs that are either programmed as Alarm or
Trip or Configurable and generates an alarm if any of the RTDs are detected as Open or Shorted. Upon detection of
an RTD Open or Shorted condition, the element also asserts the RTD Trouble PKP and RTD Trouble OP and
operates the assigned output relay. Both RTDs and RRTDs can be monitored using this element.

9.9 LOSS OF COMMUNICATIONS

This section covers the functionality of the Loss of Communications element.
The relay monitors activity on an interface via the configured protocol for this interface. The communications status
is set for each protocol.
If communication is lost, the enabled interface will issue a Loss of Comms event and operate a combination of
output relays/states.
Note:
The MODBUS ACTIVITY TIMEOUT specifies the minimum time without Modbus communication. This timeout is used to
declare the Modbus ‘Loss of Communication’ state. The MODBUS ACTIVITY TIMEOUT must be set to a value other than 0
for the Loss of Communication”monitoring to work properly.
Note:
MODBUS ACTIVITY TIMEOUT is set under: Setpoints > Device > Communications > Modbus Protocol
Path: Setpoints > Monitoring > Loss of Comms
FUNCTION
Default: Disabled
INTERFACE
Range: Serial, Serial + Ethernet, Ethernet, All

10.3 SETPOINT GROUP

The relay provides six setpoint groups. All setpoints contained under the protection setpoints are reproduced in six
groups, identified as Setpoint Groups 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. These multiple setpoints provide the capability for both
automatic and manual switching to protection settings for different operating situations. Automatic (adaptive)
protection setpoint adjustment is available to change settings when the power system configuration is altered.
Automatic group selection can be initiated from the autoreclose, SETPOINT GROUPS and by use of a SET
GROUP x ACTIVE setpoint input. The group selection can be initiated by this input from any FlexLogic operands,
inputs, pushbuttons or communications.
Group 1 is the default for the Active Group and is used unless another group is requested to become active. The
active group can be selected with the ACTIVE SETPOINT GROUP setpoint, by SET ACTIVE x GROUP input or
inputs from autoreclose, SETPOINT GROUPS. If there is a conflict in the selection of the active group, between a
setpoint, inputs and inputs from functions, the higher numbered group is made active. For example, if the inputs for
Group 2, 4, and 6 are all asserted the relay uses Group 6. If the logic input for Group 6 then becomes de-asserted,
the relay uses Group 4. Some application conditions require that the relay does not change from the present active
group. This prevention of a setpoint group change can be applied by setting Change Inhibit inputs (1 to 16). If
needed, typically this change inhibit is done when any of the overcurrent (phase, neutral, ground, or negative
sequence), overvoltage, bus or line undervoltage, or underfrequency elements are picked-up.
Path: Setpoints > Control > Setpoint Groups
ACTIVE SETPOINT GROUP

Range: 1,2,3,4,5,6
Default: 1
The ACTIVE SETPOINT GROUP setting is used for manual selection of the Active Setpoint Group.
SET GROUP 2 (3,4,5,6) ACTIVE

Default: Off
The setpoint selects the FlexLogic operand that initiates change of the ACTIVE SETPOINT GROUP.
SET GROUP 2 (3,4,5,6) ACTIVE

Default: Off
The setpoint selects the FlexLogic operand that initiates change of the ACTIVE SETPOINT GROUP.
Note:
SET GROUP 2 defaults to PB 8 ON (ALT SETTING) for some order codes.
GROUP CHANGE INHIBIT 1 (UP TO 16)

Default: Off
The setpoint selects the FlexLogic operand that inhibits change of the active setpoint group.

10.4 GENERATOR CONTROL
10.4.1 FIELD BREAKER DISCREPANCY

The field breaker discrepancy function is intended for use with synchronous generators. If a digital input is assigned
to this function the following condition applies:
Any time the field status contact indicates the field is not applied AND the generator status indicates that the
generator is online, a trip occurs once the time delay expires.
The time delay may be used to prevent possible nuisance tripping during shutdown. The field breaker status contact
type can be selected as either Auxiliary 52a or Auxiliary 52b.
Path: Setpoints > Control > Generator > Field Breaker Discrepancy

This setting assigns the digital input, which represents the status of the field breaker.
FIELD STATUS CONTACT

Range: Auxiliary 52a, Auxiliary 52b
Default: Auxiliary 52a
For Auxiliary 52a: Closed (Digital Input = 1) indicates that the field breaker is closed.

10.4.2 SEQUENTIAL SHUTDOWN

During routine shutdown and for less critical trips, it may be desirable to use the sequential shutdown function to
prevent overspeed. Any FlexLogic operand (e.g. Digital Inputs) can be assigned as arming input to enable this
function. The arming input enables either a low forward power or reverse power function, based on the power
direction setting selection. Once the measured 3-phase total power falls below the forward power level or exceeds
the reverse power level for the period of specified time, a trip will occur. This time delay will typically be shorter than
that used for standard reverse power or low forward power elements. The level is programmed per unit of generator
rated MW calculated from the rated MVA and rated power factor.
Note:
A reverse power element may not be suitable when set to a very low setting, particularly under conditions of large reactive
loading on the generator. Under such conditions, we recommend low forward power.
Path: Setpoints > Control > Generator > Sequential Shutdown
FUNCTION
Default: Disabled
ARMING INPUT
Default: Off
This setting selects a specific arming input from FlexLogic operands. Normally, sequential shutdown is armed/
initiated from digital input (from an external device).
Note:
NOTE: The Arming Input should remain ON/latched until the sequential shutdown operation is executed.
POWER DIRECTION
Range: Forward, Reverse
Default: Forward
This setting provides options for the direction of power flow.
PICKUP MW LEVEL
When the measured 3-phase total power falls below the setting of the forward pickup power level, or exceeds
the reverse power pickup level for the period of time specified, an OP operant is issued.

10.5 LOCAL CONTROL MODE (BREAKER AND SWITCHES)

When the setpoint LOCAL MODE is enabled, Open and Close control of breakers and switches is performed using
relay pushbuttons (PBs), or contact inputs from PBs installed in close proximity to the relay (such as on the relay
panel, or in the relay cubicle).
The addition of contact inputs an other FlexLogic operands for closing and opening the breaker, or switch while in
local mode provides the flexibility to use PBs mounted near the relay.
Note:
Note that one pair of PBs is used for breaker control, and another pair of PBs is used for switch control.
If contact inputs or other FlexLogic operands are used while the Select Before Operate (SBO) mechanism is
enabled, the breaker or the switch shall first be selected using the relay PBs, and then opened or closed using the
designated relay panel or cubicle PBs. (The SELECT BEFORE OPERATE setpoint is only available for relays
supporting a single breaker.) If the SBO mechanism is disabled while the relay supports configurable single line
diagrams (SLDs), only the breaker PBs either on the relay front panel or mounted nearby will work. The menu
setpoints for local switch Open and Close are hidden and deactivated.
If the relay does not support configurable SLD, the setpoints for local switch Open and Close are omitted from the
menu.
While in Local Mode, the letters LM are displayed on the relay display banner. In addition, an LED can be
programmed to turn ON when the relay is set to Local Mode. By default the relay comes with one LED programmed
to show Local Mode.
In Local Mode, control for the breakers and disconnect switches can be accessed from the relay front panel (PBs
programmed for Open and Close) or by contact inputs for Open and Close from PBs installed near the relay. Hard
coded SLD PBs are designated for Tag, Block and Bypass Block for each component upon selection. In this mode,
the LOCAL OPEN and LOCAL CLOSE setpoints for Breaker Control or Switch Control (see the respective logic)
are active.
Remote Mode
When Remote Mode is enabled, the switches are controlled (open/close) from any assigned FlexLogic operand,
contact input, virtual input, virtual output, remote input, or via communication. The Control Mode menu is designed
to switch the control for both breakers and switches to either Remote Mode (LOCAL MODE setpoint set to Off, or
the selected Local Mode input de-asserted), or Local Mode (LOCAL MODE setpoint asserted).
Breaker Mode defaults

The default value is Local.
Navigation
The 8 Series front panel provides navigation pushbuttons (PBs) which highlight the component (breaker or
disconnect switch) from the single line diagram. The navigation PBs (Up/Down or Up/Down/Left/Right depending on
relay front panel model), are used to browse through the Single Line Drawing (SLD) components. These PBs are
used for SLD navigation only. The navigation starts with highlighting the first breaker, and then goes through all
other components in sequence, until the last one (breaker or switch). Only the breakers and switches included in
the SLD from the display will be browsed (navigated).
564 1601-0320
Select Before Operate

Once the breaker or the switch is highlighted in the SLD using the navigation PBs, the component must be selected
before open or close action is performed. The selection of the component is performed by pressing “ENTER” key
from the front panel. A flash message BKR # Selected, or Sw # Selected appears on the screen to denote the
selection. Once selected, the text from the first three tabs from the display corresponding to the PBs 1, 2, and 3
changes to Tag, Block, and Bypass. At this stage, the selected breaker or switch can be Opened or Closed using
the programmed PBs, and Tagged/Blocked/Bypassed using the SLD PBs.
For PBs supporting one breaker only, the Local Control Mode menu includes the setpoint SELECT BEFORE
OPERATE, which can be set to either Enabled or Disabled. When it is set to Disabled, tagging, blocking and block
bypassing commands are disabled from both Local and Remote control. In this mode the breaker can be controlled
directly by the programmed Open and Close PBs. The local control for the disconnect switches is suspended. In
this mode they can only be controlled remotely, i.e. using pre-programmed contact inputs, virtual inputs, comms, or
any selected FlexLogic operand for closing and opening commands. The remote block and block bypass flags are
also suspended. With SELECT BEFORE OPERATE set to Disabled the relay behaves similar to some other legacy
relays, where when in Local mode the breaker is directly controlled by pressing the Open and Close PBs without
additional confirmation, and when in Remote mode the breaker is directly controlled by executing the remote open
and close commands from the configured setpoints.
When the SELECT BEFORE OPERATE setpoint is set to Enabled, the navigation, the breaker or switch selection,
as well as the blocking, bypassing and tagging are operational when in Local mode. When switched to Remote
mode, the remote blocking and bypassing will also be operational.
Note:
The selected component from SLD will be deselected if either the time programmed in setpoint Bkr/Sw Select Timeout
expires, or the ESCAPE pushbutton is pressed. The HOME button will not de-select the selected object. To navigate to home
page, the component must be first de-selected on the SLD page.
The programmed PBs for breaker or switch Open and Close can be used only in local mode when an active object
is selected in the SLD. The selected device can be opened or closed provided it is not blocked or tagged. If no
operation is detected, the selection is removed, and the selected PB must be pressed again to enable the selection.
The local mode breaker selection and operation is only active if the user has proper level security access.

PB Block (Hard coded SLD Pushbutton)

Blocking of a breaker or switch can be used for inhibiting the close or open operation while in Local Mode. The
selected breaker or disconnect switch can be blocked. If block was not applied to the selected component, pressing
the Block PB will block either the Open or Close command depending on the existing state. When the block is
active, the letter B appears in the SLD next to the controlled component

PB Bypass (Hard coded SLD Pushbutton)

Blocking of the command can be bypassed using the SLD pushbutton Bypass. When pressed, the previously
applied block is bypassed. For example if the block was applied when the Breaker/Switch was opened, pressing the
PB Bypass will allow closing command. If the bypass is active for the selected breaker or switch, the letters By
appear next to the symbol in the SLD.

PB Tag (Hard coded SLD pushbutton)

Lockout/Tagout is a practice and procedure to safeguard employees from unexpected energization or startup of
machinery and equipment, or hazardous energy during service or maintenance activities. If a breaker or disconnect
switch is tagged, the open and close controls are inhibited.
Both remote and local control commands are blocked if the tagged operand BKR# Tag ON, or SW# Tag ON is
active for the selected particular breaker or switch respectively. The breaker or switch is tagged by pressing the
SLD pushbutton Tag. If the selected switching device is tagged, a letter T appears under its symbol. Tagging can be
achieved in local mode using the front panel control from the configurable SLD screens. The Pushbutton Tag logic
diagram shows the tagging logic diagram for a switch. The logic applies to one breaker or switch at the time in the
single line diagram.

Figure 221: Pushbutton Tag logic diagram
Note:
The pushbuttons, Tag, Block and Bypass Block are used for both breakers and switches when selected in the SLD. Only one
component at the time can be selected in the SLD.
Note:
Tagging, blocking, or bypassing block can be performed in Local Mode, and only when the component (breaker or switch) is
selected in the SLD. The applied action of tagging, blocking or bypassing block is retained for this component after it’s been
deselected. To change the status of the applied action, the component need be reselected.
Note:
The Local Mode control allows programming of separate pair of PBs for Open and Close commands to breakers and for Open
and Close commands to switches. If desired, one pair of pushbuttons can be programmed for Open and Close commands to
both breakers and switches.

Figure 223: Local Control for Switches
Path: Setpoints > Control > Local Control Mode

For this path the HMI menus vary depending on the order code and the number of breakers selected.
570 1601-0320
Note:
For relays supporting single breaker control, the SW Local Open and SW Local Close setpoints appear in the menu only if the
relay is ordered with Advanced SLD; and the SELECT BEFORE OPERATE setpoint is enabled. In all other cases, these
setpoints are hidden and inactive.
SELECT BEFORE OPERATE

Default: Disabled (in most cases, but dependent on order code)
This setpoint is included in the Local Control Mode menu only if the 8 Series relay supports one breaker. This
setpoint is omitted for relays supporting more than one breaker.
When the Select Before Operate (SBO) is disabled, and Local Mode is set, the breaker control can be performed
directly by pressing the corresponding front panel pushbuttons (or those mounted in close proximity to the relay).
No component selection or additional confirmation is needed. The same applies when the breaker control is in
Remote mode.
Note:
When SBO is disabled, all local and remote flags such as blocking, bypassing, and tagging are reset.
Setting the SBO to Enabled enables the navigation and the selection of a component from the SLD, so that the
pushbuttons Open or Close from the front panel (or those mounted in close proximity to the relay) can be used in
Local Mode only after the component is selected. All flags such as blocking, bypassing and tagging can be
initiated during this mode. Blocking and bypassing can also be initiated remotely, when in Remote Mode.
LOCAL MODE
Default: Pushbutton 5 Off
The LOCAL MODE setting places the relay in Local Mode. The relay is in Remote mode, if not forced into Local
mode by this setpoint (i.e. LOCAL MODE is disabled, or the selected input de-asserted). When in Local Mode,
both Breakers and Disconnect switches can be controlled using the faceplate pushbuttons and SLD
pushbuttons.
BKR /SW SELECT TIMEOUT

Range: 1 to 10 min in steps of 1 min
Default: 5 min
This setting specifies the available time for open/close commands, after a breaker or a disconnect switch has
been selected in the single line diagram.
BKR (CONTACTOR) LOCAL OPEN

Default: Pushbutton 1
This setpoint is active, when Local Mode is activated. The breaker (contactor) open command can be initiated by
the configured pushbutton.
1601-0320 571
MANUAL CONTROL
Default: Off
Manual Control mode allows flexibility to use the open and close operation of the switch via front panel
pushbutton even during the Remote mode of operation.
BKR LOCAL OPEN

Default: Off
This setpoint is active, when Local Mode is activated. The breaker open command can be initiated by the
configured pushbutton.
BKR (CONTACTOR) LOCAL CLOSE

Default: Pushbutton 1 ON
This setpoint is active, when Local Mode is activated. The breaker (contactor) close command can be initiated by
the selected faceplate pushbutton.
BKR LOCAL CLOSE

Default: Pushbutton 1 ON (845, 850, 889)
Default: Pushbutton 2 ON (859, 869)
This setpoint is active, when Local Mode is activated. The breaker close command can be initiated by the
configured pushbutton.
Note:
hen you close a selected breaker locally using a relay pushbutton, Synchrocheck supervision is used, as defined by the
setting value configured for the setpoint Close Sync Spvn BKR[X] from the BKR[X] Control menu. For example, if you
select the value Sync 1 Cls Perm in the Close Sync Spvn BKR1 setpoint, initiation of the BKR Local Close command will
not close BKR1 unless the Synchrocheck 1 permits closing by producing a Sync 1 Cls Perm signal
SW LOCAL OPEN
Default: Pushbutton 1 ON
This setpoint is active, when Local Mode is activated. The switch open command can be initiated by the
configured pushbutton. The setpoint appears in the Local Control Mode menu only when advanced SLD is
selected when ordering the relay.
SW LOCAL CLOSE
Default: Dependent on order code
572 1601-0320
This setpoint is active, when Local Mode is activated. The switch close command can be initiated by the
programmed faceplate pushbutton. The setpoint appears in the Local Control Mode menu only when advanced
SLD is selected when ordering the relay.
TAGGING
Default: Enabled
When enabled, tagging control is enabled and the TAG key is displayed on the front panel interface. When a
breaker or a switch is tagged both the local and remote control of the device is inhibited.
Note:
Tagging is applied only from the TAG key and is mostly used for maintenance purposes, and in general when either the open
or close control must be inhibited. The tagging cannot be bypassed and can only be disabled (untagged) by pressing the TAG
key again.
EVENTS
Default: Enabled
TARGETS
Default: Self-reset
1601-0320 573
10.6 BREAKER CONTROL

While the Local breaker control is generic as the same front panel pushbuttons are used for control of each selected
breaker from the SLD, the remote breaker control requires programming of setpoints for each individual breaker.
When the relay is in Remote mode (Local Mode set to Off, or the assigned operand de-asserted), the setpoint
REMOTE BLOCK OPEN and REMOTE BLOCK CLOSE from the breaker menu can be used. These setpoints can
be used to provide Interlocking to the breaker control by assigning appropriate operands. The control for each
breaker can be programmed to have Bypass Remote Block Open and Bypass Remote Block Close inputs. These
inputs can be programmed if temporary permission for open or close is required.
The remote breaker open and close controls, as well as the blocking and bypassing the block commands are
executed as per the programmed setpoints form the Breaker Control menu.
Note:
The breaker flags Remote Block Open, Remote Block Close, Bypass Rem Blk Open and Bypass Rem Blk Close are
inhibited, when the setpoint SELECT BEFORE OPERATE residing under Local Control Mode menu is disabled. The breaker
remote open and close commands are operational.
Note:
The relay provides control of up to three breakers, depending on the order code. An additional remote breaker status is
available for HMI status only.
Path: Setpoints > Control > Breaker Control > BKR1(X)
REMOTE OPEN
Default: Off
The setting specifies the input which, when asserted, initiates a Trip command to output relay selected to open
the recloser. When the selected input is asserted, the Trip contact is energized and stays energized until the
input drops off, the breaker opens, and the selected Trip seal-in time expires. This setpoint provides the flexibility
to operate the Trip output relay by selecting an operand from the list of FlexLogic operands, contact inputs,
virtual inputs, or remote inputs. For example the operand Trip Bus 1 Op can be selected to activate this output
according to the Trip conditions configured under the Trip Bus 1 menu.
REMOTE CLOSE
Default: Off
The setting specifies the input which, when asserted, initiates a Close command to the output relay selected to
close the breaker. This setpoint provides flexibility to operate the output relay by selecting an operand from the
list of FlexLogic operands.
REMOTE BLOCK OPEN

Default: Off
The assertion of the operand assigned to this setpoint prevents the breaker from opening/tripping.
574 1601-0320
REMOTE BLOCK CLOSE

Default: Off
The assertion of the operand assigned to this setpoint prevents the breaker from closing.
BYPASS REM BLK OPEN

Default: Off
This setting specifies selection of an input which when asserted bypasses the asserted remote block open
signal. Open command is permitted for the breaker.
BYPASS REM BLK CLOSE

Default: Off
This setting specifies selection of an input which when asserted bypasses the asserted remote block close
signal. Close command is permitted for the breaker.
CLOSE SYNC SPVN BKR

Range: Bypass, Sync 1 Cls Perm
Default: order code dependent (e.g. Bypass or Sync 1Cls Perm)
This setpoint selects whether or not the closing of the breaker is supervised by the synchrocheck function. For
this purpose the Synchrocheck element must be enabled.
Note:
If the supervision is not bypassed and Close is applied for an application where the breaker is located on radial feeders, or the
line is powered by one source only, the DEAD SOURCE PERM setpoint from the Synchrocheck menu shall not be disabled.
BAY LEVEL 61850 AUTHORITY

Default: Off
This selects an operand that indicates the Bay level authority status. The operand status is modeled in the IEC
61850 server using the respective breaker's CSWI Loc data object and the operand status is applied to the
control authority table to determine the control authority for different levels. It is an Edge driven function.
STATION LEVEL 61850 AUTHORITY

Default: Off
This selects an operand that indicates the Station level authority status. The operand status is modeled in the
IEC 61850 server using the respective breaker's CSWI Loc data object and the operand status is applied to the
control authority table to determine the control authority for different levels. It is an Edge driven function.

10.7 SWITCH CONTROL (89)

The disconnect switch control provides local and remote opening and closing of the switches. The local control
(Open, Close, Tag, Block, Bypass Block) is performed from the relay front panel pushbuttons when Local Mode is
active, and the switch is selected from the displayed single line diagram. The remote switch open and close
controls, as well as the blocking and bypassing the block commands are executed as per the programmed setpoints
form the Switch Control menu. While the Local switch control is generic and the same front panel pushbuttons are
used for every selected component from the SLD, the remote switch control requires programming of setpoints per
each individual switch. These settings are defined in the menu of each individual switch control. When the relay is in
Remote mode (Local Mode set to Off, or the assigned operand de-asserted), the setpoint Remote Block Open and
Remote Block Close from the Switch Control menus can be used. These setpoints can be used to provide
Interlocking to the switch control by assigning appropriate operands. The control for each disconnect switch can be
programmed to have Bypass Remote Block Open and Bypass Remote Block Close inputs. These inputs can be
programmed if temporary permission for open or close is required.
Note:
The switch Remote Block Open, Remote Block Close, Bypass Remote Block Open and Bypass Remote Block Close
flags are inhibited, when the setpoint Select Before Operate residing under Local Control Mode menu is disabled. The
remote open and close commands are still operational.
Path: Setpoints > Control > Switch Control > SW 1(X) Control
REMOTE OPEN
Default: Off
This setting specifies an input which when asserted initiates the open command to the switch. This setpoint is
active only when the operand assigned for Local Mode is de-asserted, or Local Mode is set to “Off”.
REMOTE CLOSE
Default: Off
This setting specifies an input which when asserted initiates the close command to the switch. This setpoint is
active only when the operand assigned for Local Mode is de-asserted, or Local Mode is set to “Off”.
OPEN SEAL-IN
Default: 0.000 s
This setting specifies the seal-in time of the open commands due to an operator initiated manual or remote open
command to the disconnect switch.
CLOSE SEAL-IN
Default: 0.000 s
578 1601-0320
This setting specifies the seal-in time of the open commands due to an operator initiated manual or remote close
command to the disconnect switch.
Note:
To maintain the close/open command for a certain time, do so by either using the seal-in timers Open Seal-In and Close Seal-
In, or the setpoint "Seal-in" from the output relays, or FlexLogic.
REMOTE BLOCK OPEN

Default: Off
The assertion of the operand assigned to this setpoint prevents the disconnect switch from opening.
REMOTE BLOCK CLOSE

Default: Off
The assertion of the operand assigned to this setpoint prevents the disconnect switch from closing.
BYPASS REM BLK OPEN

Default: Off

10.10 BREAKER FAILURE (50BF)

The Breaker Failure element determines that a breaker signaled to Trip has not cleared a fault within a definite time.
The Breaker Failure scheme must trip all breakers that can supply current to the faulted zone. Operation of a
breaker Failure element causes clearing of a larger section of the power system than the initial Trip. Because
Breaker Failure can result in tripping a large number of breakers and this can affect system safety and stability, a
very high level of security is required.
The Breaker Failure function monitors phase and neutral currents and/or status of the breaker while the protection
trip or external initiation command exists. If Breaker Failure is declared, the function operates the selected output
relays, forces the autoreclose scheme to lockout and raises FlexLogic operands.
The operation of a Breaker Failure element consists of three stages: initiation, determination of a Breaker Failure
condition, and outputs.
Initiation of a Breaker Failure

The protection signals initially sent to the breaker or external initiation (FlexLogic operand that initiates Breaker
Failure) initiates the Breaker Failure scheme. The initiating signal should be sealed-in if primary fault detection can
reset before the breaker failure timers have finished timing. The seal-in is supervised by current level, so it is reset
when the fault is cleared. If required, an incomplete sequence seal-in reset can be implemented by using the
initiating operand to initiate a FlexLogic timer, set longer than any breaker failure time, with the output operand
selected to block the breaker failure scheme.
When the scheme is initiated, it sends a Trip signal after a pick-up delay, to the breaker initially signaled to Trip (this
feature is usually described as re-trip). This reduces the possibility of widespread tripping that can result from a
declaration of a failed breaker.
Determination of a Breaker Failure condition

The schemes determine a Breaker Failure condition supervised by one of the following:
● Current supervision only
● Breaker status only
● Both (current and breaker status)
Each type of supervision is equipped with a time delay, after which a failed breaker is declared and Trip signals are
sent to all breakers required to clear the zone. The delays are associated with breaker failure timers 1, 2, and 3.
Timer 1 logic is supervised by current level only. If fault current is detected after the delay interval, an output is
issued. The continued presence of current indicates that the breaker has failed to interrupt the circuit. This logic
detects a breaker that opens mechanically but fails to interrupt fault current.
Timer 2 logic is supervised by both current supervision and breaker status. If the breaker is still closed (as indicated
by the auxiliary contact) and fault current is detected after the delay interval, an output is issued.
Timer 3 logic is supervised by a breaker auxiliary contact only. There is no current level check in this logic as it is
intended to detect low magnitude faults. External logic may be created to include control switch contact used to
indicate that the breaker is in out-of-service mode, disabling this logic when the breaker is out-of-service for
maintenance.
Timer 1 and 2 logic provide two levels of current supervision - high-set and low-set - that allow the supervision level
to change (for example: from a current which flows before a breaker inserts an opening resistor into the faulted
circuit to a lower level after resistor insertion). The high-set detector is enabled after the timeout of timer 1 or 2,
along with a timer low-set delay that enables the low-set detector after its delay interval. The delay interval between
high-set and low-set is the expected breaker opening time. Both current detectors provide a fast operating time for
1601-0320 585
currents at small multiples of the Pickup value. The overcurrent detectors are required to operate after the Breaker
Failure delay interval to eliminate the need for very fast resetting overcurrent detectors.
Outputs
The outputs from the schemes are:
● Re-trip of the protected breaker
● FlexLogic operand that reports on the operation of the portion of the scheme where high-set or low-set
current supervision is used
● FlexLogic operand that reports on the operation of the portion of the scheme where 52b status supervision is
used only
● FlexLogic operand that initiates tripping required to clear the faulted zone. The Breaker Failure output can be
sealed-in for an adjustable period
● Target message indicating a failed breaker has been declared.

When a Retrip function is selected and Breaker Failure is initiated (with re-trip current supervision), the output
relay Trip operates but the alarm LED does not turn on.
SIGNAL INPUT
USE SEAL-IN
Range: Yes, No
Default: Yes
If set to Yes, the element will only be initiated if current flowing through the breaker is above the supervision
pickup level.
PH RETRIP SUPERV PICKUP

Default: 1.000 x CT
The setpoint specifies the phase current Retrip level, which when exceeded after Breaker Failure initiation, will
re-trip its own breaker. The setting is set to detect the lowest expected fault current on the protected circuit.
NTRL RETRIP SUPERV PICKUP

586 1601-0320
Default: 1.000 x CT
This setpoint specifies the neutral current Retrip level, which when exceeded after Breaker Failure initiation, will
Retrip its own breaker. The setting detects the lowest expected fault current on the protected circuit. Neutral
Retrip current supervision is used to provide increased sensitivity.
RETRIP PICKUP DELAY

Default: 0.033 s
This setting specifies a pickup delay for the re-trip command. This delay should be set longer than the possible
spurious contact input activation duration due to transients or temporary dc grounds by taking the contact input
de-bounce time into account. This will avoid re-trip operation for such transients.
SUPERVISION
Range: Current, 52b & Current, 52b
Default: Current
The setpoint specifies the type of supervision of the Breaker Failure element. There are three options: current
only, breaker status only, or both.
BREAKER CLOSED
Default: Off
The setpoint selects the FlexLogic operand (auxiliary switch contact) to indicate that the circuit breaker is closed.
T1 PICKUP DELAY
Default: 0.120 s
The setting provides a delay for Timer 1 logic which is supervised with current supervision only. The timer is set
to the expected opening time of the circuit breaker, plus a safety margin intended to overcome the relay
measurement and timing errors as well as relay processing time and current supervision reset time. In a
microprocessor relay this time is not significant. The current magnitude ramps-down to zero in ¾ of a power
cycle after the current is interrupted.
Note:
In bulk oil circuit breakers, the interrupting time for currents less than 25% of the interrupting rating can be significantly longer
than the normal interrupting time.
T2 PICKUP DELAY
Default: 0.120 s
The setting provides a delay for Timer 2 logic which is supervised with current supervision and breaker status
(52b indication). The timer is set to the expected opening time of the circuit breaker, plus a safety margin
intended to overcome the relay measurement and timing errors, relay processing time, current supervision reset
time, and the time required for the breaker auxiliary contact to open.
1601-0320 587
T3 PICKUP DELAY
Default: 0.120 s
The setting provides a delay for Timer 3 logic which is supervised with breaker status only (52b indication). The
timer is set to the expected opening time of the circuit breaker, plus a safety margin intended to overcome the
relay timing errors, and the time required for the breaker auxiliary contact to open.
PHASE HIGHSET PICKUP

Default: 1.000 x CT
The setpoint specifies the phase current output supervision level. The setting detects the lowest expected fault
current on the protected circuit.
NEUTRAL HIGHSET PICKUP

Default: 1.000 x CT
The setpoint specifies the neutral current output supervision level. The setting detects the lowest expected fault
current on the protected circuit. Neutral current supervision is used to provide increased sensitivity.
LOWSET DELAY
Default: 0.000 s
The setting provides the lowest current supervision Pickup. The setting is used in applications where a change in
supervision current level is required (for example: breakers with opening resistors).
The lowest delay (interval between high-set and low-set) is the expected breaker opening time.
PHASE LOWSET PICKUP

Default: 1.000 x CT
The setpoint specifies the phase current output supervision level. The setting detects the lowest expected fault
current on the protected circuit where significant change in current level is expected (for example: breakers with
opening resistors).
NEUTRAL LOWSET PICKUP

Default: 1.000 x CT
The setpoint specifies the neutral current output supervision level. The setting detects the lowest expected fault
current on the protected circuit where significant change in current level is expected (for example: breakers with
opening resistors). Neutral current supervision is used to provide increased sensitivity.
DROPOUT DELAY
588 1601-0320
Default: 0.100 s
The setting is used to set the period of time for which the Breaker Fail output is sealed-in. This timer must be
coordinated with the automatic reclosing scheme of the failed breaker, to which the Breaker Failure element
sends a cancel reclosure signal. Reclosure of a remote breaker can also be prevented by holding a transfer Trip
signal on for longer than the reclaim time.

10.11 ARC FLASH PROTECTION

The Arc Flash Protection module supports fast and secure protection against an arc flash event for a safe working
environment.
Arc Flash protection uses four light detection fiber sensors and a dedicated high-speed instantaneous overcurrent
element with secure Finite Response Filtering. Light from the light sensor AND logic with high-speed overcurrent
ensures fast and secure operation. Further enhancement includes continuous monitoring of individual light sensors
with self-test trouble indication. Four Arc Flash elements with self-test from the individual light sensors can be used
to design flexible Arc Flash protection schemes for different configurations depending upon the physical locations of
the sensors. Each individual element can also provide a higher level of redundancy/reliability of the system.
In case any issues with the sensors are detected (i.e. failure of a self-test), the corresponding light sensor trouble
operand (Light Sensor # Trouble) is asserted. Very fast detection of the Arc flash light event is also possible using
Light as the only detection parameter for alarm purposes. In addition, customized logic can be designed using
individual AF1 Light # PKP and Arc Flash 1 S# OP operands from different light sensors in the FlexLogic engine.

10.12 SYNCHROCHECK (25)

The synchronism check (Synchrocheck) function is intended for supervising the paralleling of two parts of a system
which are to be joined by the closure of a circuit breaker. The Synchrocheck elements are typically used at locations
where the two parts of the system are interconnected.
If a breaker can be a paralleling point between two generation sources, it is common practice to automatically
perform a check to ensure the sources are within allowable voltage limits before permitting closing of the breaker.
Synchrocheck provides this feature by checking that the bus and line input voltages are within the programmed
differentials of voltage magnitude, phase angle position, and frequency. If this feature is enabled, the check will be
performed before either manual close or automatic reclose signals can operate the Close Output Relay. The
Synchrocheck programming can allow permitted closing if either or both of the sources are de-energized.
Synchrocheck verifies that the voltages (BUS and LINE) on the two sides of the supervised circuit breaker are
within set limits of magnitude, angle and frequency difference. The time during which the two voltages remain within
the admissible angle difference is determined by the setting of the phase angle difference ΔΦ (without angle
compensation) and the frequency difference ΔF (slip frequency). It can be defined as the time it would take the
voltage phasor, BUS or LINE, to traverse an angle equal to 2 × ΔΦ at a frequency equal to the frequency difference
ΔF. This time can be calculated by:
where:
● ΔΦ = phase angle difference in degrees
● ΔF = frequency difference in Hz.
Example: For the values ofΔΦ = 30° and ΔF = 0.1 Hz, the time during which the angle between the two voltages is
less than the set value is:
As a result the breaker closing time must be less than this computed time, to successfully close and connect both
energized sides.
If one or both sides of the synchronizing breaker are de-energized, the Synchrocheck programming can allow for
closing of the circuit breaker using undervoltage control to by-pass the Synchrocheck measurements (dead source
function).
The measured bus and line input voltage magnitudes, angles and frequencies, and calculated differential values of
angle magnitude and frequency are available as actual values under Metering > Synchrocheck 1.
The selection of Aux VT Connection under Setpoints > System > Voltage Sensing determines the voltage
used for Synchrocheck as derived from the three-phase voltages available on the relay. For example, if the Aux VT
Connection is selected as Vab, and the three-phase VTs are connected in Wye configuration, the relay computes
delta voltage Vab as well, and uses it for Synchrocheck.
Note:
The Synchrocheck cannot be performed if the three-phase VTs are Delta connected, and the Wye single voltage input is
selected under Aux VT connection. Wye voltages cannot be calculated from Delta connected VTs.
1601-0320 595
Note:
If both Line and Bus sides are three-phase VTs, the VT types must match, i.e. either both Line and Bus Volt inputs are Delta
or both are Wye. If both sides are single-phase Aux VT inputs, then both Aux VT connection types must match, i.e. if the Line
side Aux VT type is Vab, then the Bus side Aux VT type must be Vab. Aux VT connection Vn is not a valid type for
synchrocheck.
Caution:
If the VT types on the Line and Bus side do not match, as specified above, the Synchrocheck does
not run even when the Function is set to Enabled.
Note:
Once the Synchrocheck function is programmed, it will perform a voltage input selection check, to determine that the voltage
magnitudes are not different by more than 5%. This check depends only on the settings entered for phase and auxiliary VTs
under Setpoints > System > Voltage Sensing. If the difference between the selected voltage inputs by calculation is bigger
than 5%, the Synchrocheck will not work. For example, the phase VT can be set to Wye connection with secondary voltage of
66.4V. The Aux. VT can be connected between phase A to B with the secondary voltage set to 115V. Then, one of the
Synchrocheck inputs can be set as the Wye connected phase voltage bank, and the other input can be the Aux. VT with
voltage Vab. Since the difference between the computed Vab input and the Aux. VT setting is 0%, the Synchrocheck will work.
However, if this difference is bigger than 5%, the Synchrocheck will not work.
Path: Setpoints > Control > Synchrocheck 1(X)
FUNCTION
Default: Disabled
BUS VOLTS INPUT

Default: J2-3VT
The setting provides selection of the Bus Volts input; either three-phase voltages from the three-phase VTs
connected to the relay, or a single voltage from the Auxiliary VT also connected to the relay Aux VT input. The
setup of these VTs is outlined under Setpoints > System > Voltage Sensing.
LINE VOLTS INPUT

Default: J2-Vx
The setting provides selection of the Line Volts input; either three-phase voltages from the three-phase VTs
connected to the relay, or a single voltage from the Auxiliary VT also connected to the relay Aux VT input. The
setup of these VTs is outlined under Setpoints > System > Voltage Sensing.
MAX FREQ DIFFERENCE

Default: 0.20 Hz
596 1601-0320
The setting selects the maximum frequency difference in ‘Hz’ between the two sources. A frequency difference
between the two input voltage systems below this value is within the permissible limit for synchronism.
MAX ANGLE DIFFERENCE

Default: 20°
The setpoint selects the maximum angular difference in degrees between the two sources. An angular difference
between the two input voltage phasors below this value is within the permissible limit for synchronism.
MAX VOLT DIFFERENCE

Range: 10 to 600000 V in steps of 1 V
Default: 2000 V
The setpoint selects the maximum primary voltage difference in volts between the two sources. A primary
voltage magnitude difference between the two input voltages below this value is within the permissible limit for
synchronism.
MAX FREQ HYSTERESIS

Default: 0.05 Hz
The setpoint specifies the required hysteresis for the maximum frequency difference condition. The condition
becomes satisfied when the frequency difference becomes lower than SYNC1 MAX FREQ DIFFERENCE. Once
the Synchrocheck element has operated, the frequency difference must increase above the SYNC1 MAX FREQ
DIFFERENCE + SYNC1 MAX FREQ HYSTERESIS sum to drop out (assuming the other two conditions, voltage
and angle, remain satisfied).
DEAD SOURCE PERM

Range: Disabled, LB & DL, DB & LL, DB & DL, DB OR DL, DB XOR DL
Default: Disabled
The setpoint selects the combination of dead and live sources that bypass the synchronism check function and
permit the breaker to be closed when one or both of the two voltages (Bus Voltage or/and Line Voltage) are
below the maximum voltage threshold. A dead or live source is declared by monitoring the voltage level. Six
options are available.
The voltage levels that determine whether a source is dead or live are configurable in the four setpoints following
this one.
The DEAD SOURCE PERMISSION range is as follows:
○
Disabled: Dead source permissive is disabled.

The setpoint establishes a minimum voltage magnitude for the Line Voltage. Above this magnitude, the Line
Voltage input used for Synchrocheck is considered “Live” or energized.
DEAD BUS VOLTS MAX

Default: 0.20 x VT
The setpoint establishes a maximum voltage magnitude for the Bus Voltage. Below this magnitude, the Bus
Voltage input used for Synchrocheck is considered “Dead” or de-energized.
DEAD LINE VOLTS MAX

Default: 0.20 x VT
This setpoint establishes a maximum voltage magnitude for the Line Voltage. Below this magnitude, the Line
Voltage input used for Synchrocheck is be considered “Dead” or de-energized.
SYNCCHECK BYPASS
Default: Off
The Synchrocheck is bypassed when the selected operand is asserted. Typically BKR(X) Disconnected is used
to bypass Synchrocheck.
BLOCK
Default: Off
598 1601-0320
The Synchrocheck is blocked when the selected operand is asserted. Typically 52a (the circuit breaker closed)
contact is used to block Synchrocheck (Synchrocheck is needed only when the circuit breaker is open).
Synchrocheck can be also blocked when the relay is tripping.

10.13 VT FUSE FAILURE (VTFF)

The VT Fuse Failure detector can be used to raise an alarm and/or block elements that may operate incorrectly for
a full or partial loss of AC potential caused by one or more blown fuses. Some elements that might be blocked (via
the BLOCK input) are voltage restrained overcurrent, directional current, power functions. This loss can be caused
by a blown primary voltage transformer fuse (or fuses), or by voltage transformer secondary circuit protection fuse
failure.
There are two classes of fuse failure that may occur:
1. Class A: loss of one or two phases
2. Class B: loss of all three phases.
Different means of detection are required for each class. An indication of a Class A failure is a significant level of
negative sequence voltage, whereas an indication of a Class B failure is the presence of positive sequence current
and an insignificant amount of positive sequence voltage. These noted indications of fuse failure could also be
present when faults are present on the system, so a means of detecting faults and inhibiting fuse failure
declarations during these events is provided.
Once the fuse failure condition is declared, it is sealed-in until the cause that generated it disappears. An additional
condition is introduced to inhibit a fuse failure declaration when the monitored circuit is de-energized: positive
sequence voltage and current are both below threshold levels.
The settings of this function are applied to three-phase voltage input (supervised with positive, negative and zero
sequence current components) to produce an Operate flag.
This function also provides detection of the VT neutral wire open condition using the third harmonic content in the
3V0 (i.e. Va+Vb+Vc) signal. Under neutral wire open condition, 3V0 contains small fundamental content under
balance load condition but contains significant 3rd harmonic contents regardless of the load condition (balance or
imbalance).

10.14 DIGITAL ELEMENTS

The 8Series has 64 identical digital elements available. A digital element can monitor any FlexLogic operand and
present a target message and enable events recording depending on the output operand state. The digital element
settings include:
● a name to be referenced in any target message
● a blocking input from any selected FlexLogic operand
● a timer for pickup and reset delays for the output operand
Digital elements run once per power system cycle. As such they can easily fail to react to an input signal or a block
signal with a duration less than one power system cycle. This also means that digital element output can react up to
one power system cycle later than the pickup and reset delay settings indicate. Therefore, do no use digital
elements:
● with transient signals, such as communications commands.
● where random delays of up to one cycle cannot be tolerated, such as in high speed protection.
Example : Trip circuit integrity monitoring

In many applications it is desirable to monitor the breaker trip circuit integrity such that problems can be detected
before a trip operation is required. The circuit is considered to be healthy when the voltage monitor connected
across the trip output contact detects a low level of current (Contact output voltage is not zero), well below the
operating current of the breaker trip coil. If the circuit presents a high resistance, the trickle current falls below the
monitor threshold, and an alarm is declared.
In most breaker control circuits, the trip coil is connected in series with a breaker auxiliary contact, which is open
when the breaker is open. To prevent unwanted alarms in this situation, the trip circuit monitoring logic must include
the breaker position.
Assume that output 1 is a trip contact. Using the output settings, this output is given an ID name; for example, Cont
Op 1. Assume a 52a breaker auxiliary contact is connected to contact input 1 to monitor breaker status (Block when
contact input 1 is OFF).
Using the contact input settings, this input is given a name, for example, CI 1, and is set On when the breaker is
closed. The function is blocked when breaker is open, i.e. CI 1 is Off. The settings to use digital element 1 to
monitor the breaker trip circuit are shown below:

11.2 FLEXLOGIC
To provide maximum flexibility, the arrangement of internal digital logic combines fixed and user-programmed
parameters. Logic upon which individual features are designed is fixed, and all other logic, from digital input signals
through elements or combinations of elements to digital outputs, is variable. The user has complete control of all
variable logic through FlexLogic. In general, the system receives analog and digital inputs, which then uses
FlexLogic to produce analog and digital outputs.
The major sub-systems of a generic 8 Series relay involved in this process are shown as follows.

The states of all digital signals are represented by flags (FlexLogic operands). A digital 1 is represented by a Set
flag. Any external contact change-of-state can be used to block an element from operating, as an input to a control
feature in a FlexLogic equation, or to operate an output relay. The state of the contact input can be displayed locally
or viewed remotely via the communications facilities provided. In a simple scheme where a contact input is used to
block an element is desired, this selection is made within the menu of the element. This applies to other features
that set flags: elements, virtual inputs, remote inputs, schemes, and human operators.
When more complex logic than the one presented above is required, the FlexLogic tool should be used. For
example, if it is desired to block the operation of a Phase Time Overcurrent element by the closed state of a contact
input, and the operated state of a Phase Undervoltage element, the two input states need be programmed in a
FlexLogic equation. This equation ANDs the two inputs to produce a virtual output which then must be programmed
within the menu of the Phase Time Overcurrent as a blocking input. Virtual outputs can be created only by
FlexLogic equations.
Traditionally, protective relay logic has been relatively limited. Any unusual applications involving interlocks,
blocking, or supervisory functions had to be hard-wired using contact inputs and outputs. FlexLogic minimizes the
requirement for auxiliary components and wiring while making more complex schemes possible.
The logic that determines the interaction of inputs, elements, schemes and outputs is field programmable through
the use of logic equations that are sequentially processed. The use of virtual inputs and outputs in addition to
hardware is available internally and on the communication ports for other relays to use (distributed FlexLogic).
FlexLogic allows customization of the relay through a series of equations that consist of operators and operands.
The operands are the states of inputs, elements, schemes and outputs. The operators are logic gates, timers and
latches (with set and reset inputs). A system of sequential operations allows any combination of specified operands
to be assigned, as inputs to specified operators, to create an output. The final output of an equation is a numbered
register called a ‘Virtual Output’. Virtual Outputs can be used as an input operand in any equation, including the
equation that generates the output, as a seal-in or other type of feedback.
A FlexLogic equation consists of parameters that are either operands or operators. Operands have a logic state of 1
or 0. Operators provide a defined function, such as an AND gate or a Timer. Each equation defines the
combinations of parameters to be used to set a Virtual Output flag. Evaluation of an equation results in either a 1
(=ON, i.e. flag set) or 0 (=OFF, i.e. flag not set). Each equation is evaluated at least 4 times during every power
system cycle.
Some types of operands are present in the relay in multiple instances; e.g. contact and remote inputs. These types
of operands are grouped together (for presentation purposes only) on the faceplate display. The characteristics of
the different types of operands are listed in the table below.
FlexLogic Operands
A complete list of FlexLogic operands are available on the GE website.
The following operands can be re-named if required
● Breakers in the breaker control feature
● ID (identification) of contact inputs
● ID of virtual inputs
● ID of virtual outputs.
● If the default name or ID of any of these operands are changed, the assigned name appears in the relay list
of operands.

FLEXLOGIC RULES
When forming a FlexLogic equation, the sequence in the linear array of parameters must follow these general rules:
● Operands must precede the operator which uses the operands as inputs.
● Operators have only one output. The output of an operator must be used to create a Virtual Output if it is to
be used as an input to two or more operators.
● Assigning the output of an operator to a Virtual Output terminates the equation.
● A timer operator (for example, TIMER 1) or Virtual Output assignment may only be used once. If this rule is
broken, a syntax error will be declared.
FLEXLOGIC EVALUATION
● Each equation is evaluated in the order in which the parameters have been entered.
● FlexLogic provides latches which by definition have a memory action, remaining in the set state after the set
input has been asserted. However, they are volatile; that is, they reset on the re-application of control power.
● When making changes to settings, all FlexLogic equations are re-compiled whenever any new setting value
is entered, so all latches are automatically reset. If it is necessary to re-initialize FlexLogic during testing, for
example, it is suggested to power the unit down then back up.
11.2.1 TIMERS
Path: Setpoints > FlexLogic > Timers
There are 32 identical FlexLogic timers available. These timers can be used as operators for FlexLogic equations.
TIMER 1 TYPE
Range: Milliseconds, Seconds, Minutes
Default: Milliseconds
The setpoint is used to select the time measuring unit.
TIMER 1 MODE
Range: Pickup, Dropoff, Dwell, Pulse, Pickup/Dropoff,
Default: Pickup
TIMER 1 PICKUP DELAY

1601-0320 613
Default: 0 s
The setpoint sets the time delay to Pickup. If a Pickup delay is not required, set this function to “0”.
This setting is used to set the time delay for Pickup, Dwell, Pulse and Pickup/Dropoff.
TIMER 1 DROPOUT DELAY

Default: 0 s
The setpoint sets the time delay to Dropout. If a Dropout delay is not required, set this function to “0”.
This setting is used to set the drop-off time delay for Dropoff, Pickup/Dropoff.
11.2.2 NON-VOLATILE LATCHES

The purpose of a Non-volatile Latch is to provide a permanent logical flag that is stored safely and does not reset
when the relay reboots after being powered down. Typical applications include sustaining operator commands or
permanently blocking relay functions such as Autorecloser, until a deliberate HMI action resets the latch.
Operation of the element is summarized in the following table:

The setpoint enables or disables the Non-volatile Latch function.
NV LATCH 1 TYPE
Range: Reset-Dominant, Set-Dominant
Default: Reset-Dominant
The setting characterizes NV LATCH 1 to be set- or reset-dominant.
NV LATCH 1 SET
Default: Off
If asserted, this specified FlexLogic operand sets NV LATCH 1.
614 1601-0320
LATCH 1 RESET
Default: Off
If asserted, this specified FlexLogic operand resets NV LATCH 1.
11.2.3 FLEXLOGIC EQUATION

Path: Setpoints > FlexLogic > FlexLogic Equation
The FlexLogic Equation screen is one of two options available to configure FlexLogic. The other option is Logic
Designer.
Three time stamp variables: Logic Design Last Saved, Logic Design Last Compiled and FlexLogic Editor Last
Saved, have been included in this screen.
Look at the time stamps to easily see which of the options: FlexLogic Editor or Logic Designer is currently being
used.
There are 1024 FlexLogic entries available, numbered from 1 to 1024 (i.e. FlexLogic Entry X – where X ranges from
1 to 1024) with default END entry settings. If a Disabled Element is selected as a FlexLogic entry, the associated
state flag is never set to 1.
Figure 235: FlexLogic Equation Editor Screen
The FlexLogic entries are defined as follows.

Graphical Viewer: Clicking on the View button enables the FlexLogic equation to be presented in graphical format
(Read-only). Refer to the Viewing FlexLogic Graphics section for more details.
1601-0320 615
Logic Design Last Saved, Logic Design Last Compiled, and FlexLogic Editor Last Saved: Each of these three
read-only variables holds the time stamp that represents the time that the operation (of the respective variable) was
performed.
● When no Logic (New file creation) is present these timestamps are set to default text representations.
● Time stamps are displayed in the format ‘Mon DD YYYY HH:MM:SS’ [Jun 22 1981 14:20:00]
● Each time a ‘Save’ operation is performed in the ‘FlexLogic Equation Editor’ screen, the ‘FlexLogic Editor
Last Saved’ entry gets updated.
● Based on the values present at each launch of the ‘FlexLogic Equation Editor’ screen, internal validation
prompts the relevant messages. These prompts must be followed to ensure that the ‘FlexLogic’ configuration
is synchronized with the ‘Logic Designer’. These three variables are shown in color in the FlexLogic Equation
Editor based on timestamps. Color is used to indicate the change (non-synchronization if any) of FlexLogic
between the FlexLogic Editor and Logic Designer Screens.
File Conversion and Handling of Time Stamps: When File Conversion is applied the three time stamps are
processed (either carry forwarded, defaulted, updated with latest PC time) based on the Source and Destination
File versions and Order code supported.
The following cases depict the nature of the three time stamps after a file conversion.
Source Version Target Version Is FlexLogic Change Time Stamps [LDLs, LDLc, FELs]**
Detected?
>= 160 >= 160 YES [ 0^ , 0 , PCTime**]
>= 160 >=160 NO *Existing time stamps are copied to the
converted file
< 160 >= 160 YES [ 0 , 0 , PCTime]
< 160 (& > 120***) >= 160 NO [PCTime, PCTime, PCTime,]
** LDLs – Logic Designer Last Saved, LDLc– Logic Designer Last Compiled and FELs – FlexLogic
Editor Last Saved
** PCTime The time that the file conversion took place
^0 Indicates the time stamps are being defaulted
*** There is no support for Logic Designer [Graphical Editor] below version 130
* For each specific case, the source files for Logic Designer (Graphical) content will also get
copied “as is” to the destination folder. This enables the user to retain old content “as is”.
In a typical scenario where both the FlexLogic Designer and FlexLogic Editor are used for configuring FlexLogic, the
updated time stamps appear as shown in the following figure.
616 1601-0320
Logic Designer: This entry can be used to initiate the launch of the Logic Designer screen. Once chosen, the
existing FlexLogic Equation Editor screen is set to Read-only and then the Logic Designer screen launch is initiated.
If the user wants to re-visit the FlexLogic Editor Screen, any existing read-only screen has to be closed first. Then,
the screen has to be re-opened. The FlexLogic Editor screen is now editable, again.
In order to maintain synchronization of FlexLogic, the following update rules are defined.
For example, when a user tries to open the ‘FlexLogic Equation Editor’ of a particular device or file.
● If the Logic Designer screen is open and in Edit mode, a message prompts to save any changes. The
FlexLogic Equation Editor is not launched.
● If the Logic Designer is open and in saved mode (no edits to save or compile), the Logic Designer screen is
closed and then the FlexLogic Equation Editor launch is initiated.
11.2.4 VIEWING FLEXLOGIC GRAPHICS

To verify that the FlexLogic equation(s) and its selected parameters produce the desired logic, the expression can
be viewed by converting the derived equation into a graphic diagram. It is strongly recommended and helpful to
view an equation as a graphic diagram before it is saved to the relay in order to troubleshoot any possible error in
the equation.

11.2.5 FLEXELEMENTS
There are 8 identical FlexElements. A FlexElement is a universal comparator, that can be used to monitor any
analog actual value measured or calculated by the relay, or a net difference of any two analog actual values of the
same type. Depending on how the FlexElement is programmed, the effective operating signal could be either a
signed signal or an absolute value.
You can configure the element to respond either to a signal level or to a rate-of-change (delta) over a pre-defined
period of time. The output operand is asserted when the operating signal is higher than a threshold or lower than a
threshold chosen.
618 1601-0320
When configuring a FlexElement, keep in mind the following limitations:

1. The analog inputs for any FlexElement must be from the same quantity.
○ current and current (in any combination, phase-symmetrical, phase-phase, kA-A, differential, restraint,
etc.)
○ voltage and voltage (as above)
○ active power and active power (Watts and Watts)
○ reactive power and reactive power (Vars and Vars)
○ apparent power and apparent power (VA and VA)
○ angle and angle (any, no matter what signal, for example angle of voltage and angle of current are a
valid pair)
○ % and % (any, for example THD and harmonic content is a valid pair)
○ V/Hz and V/Hz
○ °C and °C
○ I2t and I2t
○ FlexElement actual and FlexElement actual
2. For all the other combinations, the element displays 0.000 or N/A and will not assert any output operand.
3. The analog value associated with one FlexElement can be used as an input to another FlexElement
“Cascading”.

Path:Setpoints > FlexLogic > FlexElements > FlexElement 1
FUNCTION
1601-0320 619
Default: Disabled
NAME
Default: FlexEl 1
INPUT 1 (+)
Range: Off, any FlexAnalog signal
Default: Off
This setting specifies the first input (non-inverted) to the FlexElement. Zero is assumed as the input if this setting
is set to Off. For proper operation of the element at least one input must be selected. Otherwise, the element
will not assert its output operands.
INPUT 2 (-)
Range: Off, any FlexAnalog signal
Default: Off
This setting specifies the second input (inverted) to the FlexElement. Zero is assumed as the input if this setting
is set to Off. For proper operation of the element at least one input must be selected. Otherwise, the element
will not assert its output operands.
This input should be used to invert the signal if needed for convenience, or to make the element respond to a
differential signal such as for a top-bottom oil temperature differential alarm.
A warning message is displayed and the element does not operate if the two input signals are of different types,
for example if one tries to use active power and phase angle to build the effective operating signal.
PICKUP
Range: -30.000 to 30.000 pu in steps of 0.001 pu
Default: 1.000
This setting specifies the operating threshold for the effective operating signal of the element.
If the Over direction is set, the element picks up when the operating signal exceeds the Pickup value.
If the Under direction is set, the element picks up when the operating signal falls below the Pickup value.
The HYSTERISIS setting controls the element drop out.
Notice that both the operating signal and the pickup threshold can be negative when facilitating applications
such as reverse power alarms.
The FlexElement can be programmed to work with all analog values measured or computed by the relay. The
PICKUP setting is entered in pu values using the following definitions of the base units:

11.2.5.2 FLEXELEMENTS - EXAMPLES
T13.8 kV power system:

● Phase VT Connection: Wye
● Phase VT Secondary: 66.4 V
● Phase VT Ratio: 120:1 (phase to neutral primary voltage = 120*66.4 = 7968 V)
● Aux VT Connection: Vab
● Aux VT Secondary: 115 V
● Aux VT Ratio: 120:1 (phase-phase primary voltage = 13800V)
● Phase CTs Primary: 2000 A
● Ground CT Primary: 500 A
● Frequency: 60Hz
Detecting voltage difference:

The voltage difference between calculated phase-phase voltage derived from Wye connected phase VTs, and the
directly measured phase-phase voltage from auxiliary VT can be monitored by programming a FlexElement.
FlexElement settings:
● Input 1(+): J2 Vab RMS
● Input 2 (-): J2 Vaux RMS (input from VT connected between phases A and B)
● Operating Mode: Absolute
● Input Comparison Mode: Level
● Direction: Over
The analog input J2 Vab is phase-phase voltage computed by the relay based on three-phase Wye voltages. As per
the Phase VT setup, the primary RMS nominal voltage for J2 Vab input is 66.4 V *120 = 7.968kV.
The analog input J2 Vaux is directly measured phase-phase voltage and its primary RMS nominal voltage is 115V
*120 = 13.8kV
VBASE = max (7.968kV, 13.8kV) = 13.8kV.
622 1601-0320
If we want to detect 2% voltage difference (2% @13.8kV = 276V) between the computed phase to phase Vab
voltage, and the measured Vaux voltage from a VT connected between phases A and B, the pickup per-unit setting
for the FlexElement can be set as follows:
Pickup = 276V/13800V = 0.02 pu
If the voltage difference between the selected inputs becomes bigger than 276 Volts, the FlexElement will pickup,
and operate, which can be used to energize contact, or initiate alarm, or trip.
Detecting current difference between Neutral and Ground currents:

In a balanced system, the computed neutral and the measured ground currents is 0 Amps. However, during ground
faults their values are not zero. More specifically if the phase and ground CTs are located on the same transformer
winding, such that the ground CT is installed on the grounded neutral of the winding, their values supposed to be
the same during external fault, and would be different during internal fault. The FlexElement can be used for
detecting the differential signal between these quantities. For example the following condition can be made:
IBASE = max (2000A, 500A) = 2000A
● Input 1(+): J1
● Input 2 (-): J1 Ig
● Direction: Over
● Pickup = 200A/2000A: 0.1 pu
When no CT saturation conditions exist, if the difference between the neutral current and the ground current
becomes more than 200 Amps primary, this can be treated as an indication of an internal ground fault, which should
be cleared. With IBASE = max (2000A, 500A) = 2000A, the pickup can be set as follows: Pickup = 200A/2000A = 0.1
pu
Detecting Low 3-ph Apparent Power:

VBASE = 7.968kV
IBASE = 1000 A
PBASE = VBASE *IBASE = 7968 V *2000A = 15.936MVA
The FlexElement can be set to detect under-power conditions and produce alarm, or trip if the apparent power is
less than 500kVA. In this case the pickup setting for the FlexElement can be computed as follows:
Pickup = 0.5MVA / 15.936 MVA = 0.0313 pu
● Input 1(+): Pwr1 Apparent
● Input 2(-): Off
● Direction: Under
● Pickup: 0.0313 pu
1601-0320 623
Power Factor Cap Bank Switch-In Example

PFBASE = 1.00
FlexElement can be programmed to switch-in cap bank, if for example the measured 3Ph Power Factor has
negative value(lag), and drops below the pickup of -0.7 pu. Programming the Hysteresis setpoint to the desired
percentage can define the PF value at which the cap bank can be switched off. For example, if the cap bank is
required to be switched off at PF value of -0.9, than the percent hysteresis is computed as:
% hysteresis = ((abs(-0.9)-abs(-0.7))/ PFBASE)*100 = 20%
Note:
The minimum pickup should not be less than 0.01 pu, as the measurement resolution for the Power Factor is 0.01.
● Input 1(+): Pwr1 PF

● Input 2(-): Off
● Operating Mode: Signed
● Direction: Under
● Pickup: -0.700 pu
● Hysteresis: 20.0 %
Detecting high THD (Total Harmonic Distortion)

THDBASE = 100%
A FlexElement can be programmed to detect excessive amount of harmonics in the system, and Alarm, Trip, or
switch-in/out an equipment to suppress the high amount of harmonics. The Total Harmonic Distortion is an
estimation of how the AC signals are distorted and as shown above, it can be used as an input for the FlexElement.
For example if an operation from a FlexElement is desired when the THD for the phase A voltage exceeds 20%,
then having a base of 100%, the pickup setting should be set to 0.200 pu.
● Input 1(+): J2 Phase A THD
● Input 2(-): Off
● Direction: Over
Note:
The harmonics and THD values are measured as percentage of the fundamental signal, and have resolution of 0.01%.
However for the minimum pickup setting of 0.001 pu, this would mean percentage step of 0.1%.
Simple V/Hz ratio detection for protected equipment

V/HzBASE = 1.00High V/Hz ratios in the power system are harmful for the insulation of the protected equipment –
transformer, generator, or elsewhere in the power system. If not detected, it can lead to excessive heat and
degradation of the insulation which will damage the equipment. A FlexElement can be used for simple detection of
V/Hz values, and to issue an Alarm, or Trip, if detected above Pickup setting. Since the base unit for V/Hz = 1.00,
624 1601-0320
programming of the pickup setpoint is straight forward for the desired FlexElement operation. For the example given
here, a value of 1.200 pu has been selected.
● Input 1(+): Volts Per Hertz 1Input 2(-): OffOperating Mode: AbsoluteInput Comparison Mode: LevelDirection:
OverPickup: 1.200 puHysteresis: 8.3%
Now, if the FlexElement is needed to drop down when the V/Hz ratio becomes equal to 1.1, the hysteresis can be
calculated as:1.2pu-1.1pu = 0.1 puHysteresis = (0.1*100)/1.2 = 8.3%
High Breaker Arcing current detection

High breaker arcing current can be detected by using a FlexElement during the opening of a breaker. One or more
FlexElements can be configured for detecting levels of maximum arcing current during the tripping of a particular
breaker, and give an indication for the health of the breaker.
The base unit for the breaker arcing current is programmed in the relay as: BASE = 2000 kA2*cycle
● Input 1(+): Total Arcing Current
● Input 2(-): Off
● Direction: Over
● Hysteresis: 0.0%
To configure the pickup setpoint for a total arcing current of 5000kA2/cycle, the per-unit pickup value can be
calculated as follows:
Pickup = 5000kA2 *cycle/2000 kA2*cycle = 2.500 pu

Path:Setpoints > Testing > Simulation
● Setup
● Pre-Fault
● Fault
● Post-Fault
The Simulation feature is provided for testing the functionality of the relay in response to programmed conditions,
without the need of external AC voltage and current inputs. First time users will find this to be a valuable training
tool. System parameters such as currents, voltages and phase angles are entered as setpoints. When placed in
simulation mode, the relay suspends reading actual AC inputs, generates samples to represent the programmed
phasors, and loads these samples into the memory to be processed by the relay. Normal (pre-fault), fault and post-
fault conditions can be simulated to exercise a variety of relay features. There are three sets of input parameters
used during simulation, each provides a particular state of the system as follows.
Note:
Simulation mode current input should be set at more than three times the CT rating. All Simulation setpoints revert to default
values at power-up.
Note:
Testing of Arc Flash functionality is not possible with the Simulation feature.

The RTC SYNC SOURCE actual value is the time synchronizing source the relay is using at present.
PTP Status
The present values of the PTP protocol are displayed here.
Path:Status > PTP
Grandmaster ID is the grandmaster Identity code being received from the present PTP grandmaster, if any. When
the relay is not using any PTP grandmaster, this actual value is zero. The grandmaster Identity code is specified by
PTP to be globally unique, so one can always know which clock is grandmaster in a system with multiple
grandmaster-capable clocks.
RTC Accuracy is the estimated maximum time difference at present in the Real Time Clock (RTC), considering the
quality information imbedded in the received time signal, how long the relay has had to lock to the time source, and
in the case of time signal interruptions, the length of the interruption. The value 999,999,999 indicates that the
magnitude of the estimated difference is one second or more, or that the difference cannot be estimated.
Port 4 (5) PTP State is the present state of the port’s PTP clock. The PTP clock state is:
● DISABLED: If the port’s function setting is Disabled
● NO SIGNAL: If enabled but no signal from an active master has been found and selected
● CALIBRATING: If an active master has been selected but lock is not at present established
● SYNCH’D (NO PDELAY): If the port is synchronized, but the peer delay mechanism is non-operational
● SYNCHRONIZED: If the port is synchronized

14.2 METERING OVERVIEW

All phasors calculated by 8 Series relays and used for protection, control and metering functions are rotating
phasors, that maintain the correct phase angle relationships with each other at all times.
For display and oscillography purposes, all phasor angles in a given relay are referred to an AC input channel pre-
selected as the phase A voltage. If there is no voltage input, the phase A current is used for angle reference. The
phase angle of the reference signal always display zero degrees and all other phase angles are relative to this
signal. If the preselected reference signal is not measurable at a given time, the phase angles are not referenced.
The phase angles are always presented as negative values in the lagging direction as illustrated in the following.
Figure 248: Phase Angle Measurement 8 Series Convention
The relay measures all RMS (root mean square) currents and voltages, frequency, and all auxiliary analog inputs.
Other values like neutral current, phasor symmetrical components, power factor, power (real, reactive, apparent),
are derived. A majority of these quantities are recalculated every protection pass and perform protection and
monitoring functions. Displayed metered quantities are updated approximately three (3) times a second for
readability. All phasors and symmetrical components are referenced to the A-N voltage phasor for wye-connected
VTs; to the A-B voltage phasor for delta-connected VTs; or to the phase A current phasor when no voltage signals
are present.

15.2 EVENTS
The relay has an event recorder, which runs continuously. All event records are stored in non-volatile memory such
that information is permanently retained. The events are displayed from newest to oldest event. Each event has a
header message containing a summary of the event that occurred, and is assigned an event number equal to the
number of events that have occurred since the recorder was cleared. The event number is incremented for each
new event.
The Event Recorder captures contextual data associated with the last 1024 events listed in chronological order from
most recent to oldest. Events for a particular element are captured, if the setpoint EVENTS is selected as
“Enabled”. By default, the EVENTS setpoint from all elements is enabled.
Path: Records > Event Records
The events are cleared by pressing the pushbutton corresponding to the tab CLEAR, or when issuing clear event
records command from the general clear records menu.
15.2.1 EVENT VIEWER

The Event Viewer provides a consolidated view of up to 1024 events from a single 8 Series device or up to as many
as ten connected 8 Series devices or event files (10 x 1024 events in total).
704 1601-0320
To open the Event Viewer for a connected device, follow these steps in the EnerVista D&I Setup software:
2. Select the Setpoints > Records > Events menu item.
3. A small Events window opens displaying the following:
○ Date/Time of Last Clear
○ Events Since Last Clear
○ Date/Time of Last Retrieval
4. In addition, the Event Viewer launches for a detailed view of up to 1024 of the most recent events.
The Event Viewer window runs as a separate application, and can be moved outside of the main window and
resized as needed.
If EnerVista D&I Setup software is closed, the Event Viewer remains open but offline (no further events are received
from running devices, however event data is still available).
The Event List includes all events in descending chronological order. For multiple sources, a Source column
showing the device name or file name is shown between the Date/Time and the Event columns.
1601-0320 705
To add an additional connected 8 Series relay to the open Event Viewer, follow these steps:
2. Select the Setpoints > Records > Events menu item.
3. The Event Viewer adds up to 1024 of the most recent events to the open window, labeled with the new
device name in the Source column.
The Event column is only shown when Show Event Numbers is selected on the Data tab.
On the left side of the Event List a checkbox column with a toggle button at the top allows selection of specific
events. Only the selected events are saved or copied by the Save to File and Copy to Clipboard options in the
File tab.
Use the following keys to navigate quickly through the Event List:
● End scrolls to the bottom of the Event List
● Home scrolls to the top of the Event List
● Page Down scrolls one page down in the Event List
● Page Up scrolls one page up in the Event List
When the Event Viewer and the EnerVista D&I Setup software are both open, new events from connected devices
are added to the Event Viewer as they occur and oscillography and fault report records are gradually retrieved from
the device, in order of oldest to newest (assuming oscillography records and fault report records are saved in a
common location).
Oscillography record events (such as Trans. Rec Trigger shown above) have a symbol in the Data column that
includes a link to launch the oscillography record in the EnerVista D&I Setup software.
Fault report events (such as Fault Rpt Trig shown above) can be opened in the same manner by clicking the fault
report symbol in the Data column.
706 1601-0320

16.2 ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH REPORT

Prolonged exposure to harsh environments and transient conditions that exceed those stated in the device
specifications will reduce the life of the product. The relay has a patented Environmental Awareness Module (EAM)
to record environmental data over the life of the product. The module measures temperature, humidity, surge pulses
and accumulates the events every hour in pre-determined threshold buckets over a period of 15 years. Using
EnerVista D&I Setup software, you can retrieve this data in the form of a histogram. This will help you to quickly
identify any changes in the operating condition of installed products and arrange necessary remedial action. An
example of a report is provided below.

16.3 GENERAL MAINTENANCE

The relay requires minimal maintenance. As a microprocessor-based relay, its characteristics do not change over
time. The expected service life is 20 years when the environment and electrical conditions are within stated
specifications.
The relay performs continual self-tests, however we recommend scheduling regular maintenance activities. This
maintenance can involve in-service, out-of-service, or unscheduled maintenance.
16.3.1 IN-SERVICE MAINTENANCE

In-service maintenance consists of the following activities:
1. Visual verification of the analog values integrity, such as voltage and current (in comparison to other devices
on the corresponding system).
2. Visual verification of active alarms, relay display messages, and LED indications.
3. Visual inspection for any damage, corrosion, dust, or loose wires.
4. Event recorder file download with further events analysis.
16.3.2 OUT-OF-SERVICE MAINTENANCE

Out-of-service maintenance consists of the following activities:
1. Check wiring connections for firmness.
2. Analog values (currents, voltages, RTDs, analog inputs) injection test and metering accuracy verification.
Calibrated test equipment is required.
3. Protection elements setting verification (analog values injection or visual verification of setting file entries
against relay settings schedule).
4. Contact inputs and outputs verification. This test can be conducted by direct change of state forcing or as part
of the system functional testing.
5. Visual inspection for any damage, corrosion, or dust.
6. Event recorder file download with further events analysis.
16.3.3 UNSCHEDULED MAINTENANCE (SYSTEM INTERRUPTION)

Unscheduled maintenance consists of the following activities:
● Viewing the event recorder and oscillography for correct operation of inputs, outputs, and elements.

17.14 LONG-TERM STORAGE

The device should be stored in an environment that is dry, corrosive-free, and not in direct sunlight.
Correct storage will prevent premature component failures caused by environmental factors such as moisture or
corrosive gases. Exposure to high humidity or corrosive environments will prematurely degrade the electronic
components in any electronic device regardless of its use or manufacturer, unless specific precautions, such as
those mentioned in the Environmental section, are taken.
We recommend that you power up all stored relays once per year, for one hour continuously, to avoid deterioration
of electrolytic capacitors and subsequent relay failure.
